California School District Paying $10.5M in Chicken Suit Attack
A California school district has agreed to pay $10.5 million to a former student who suffered brain damage when he was mobbed while wearing a chicken costume at a pep rally.
Kern County High School District agreed to the settlement this week after a jury this week found the district liable for Mitch Carter’s injuries and was considering damages.
The former Bakersfield High student was wearing a chicken outfit to mock the Golden Eagle mascot of an opposing team when he was dogpiled by members of his own football team in 2010.
The district says the incident never should have happened and it accepts responsibility.
