PORT CHARLOTTE — Official reports and statements from Lee Hill, the man charged with aggravated battery in connection with the vicious beating of a homeless man underneath the
U.S. 41 bridge, don’t tell the whole story, according to Tammy Griffin, mother of the 14 year-old boy who was also charged in the beating.

Instead, Griffin said her son was not the main aggressor and was hardly present for the attack by Hill, which resulted in the victim having all the bones in his face broken and blood seeping onto his brain.
