Judge Rules that Lawsuit in Student Beating case at Morgan State University Can Go Forward
A Baltimore Circuit Court judge ruled Monday that a lawsuit can go forward against Morgan State University that contends the school failed to protect Joshua Ceasar, who was brutally beaten last year by an electrical engineering student who previously showed signs of violence and mental instability. The student, Alexander Kinyua, 22, was later accused of murder and cannibalism in the death of a family friend. Judge Videtta A. Brown found that there was potential for “foreseeability” on the part of the school that “something bad was going to happen,” said Steven D. Silverman, Caesar’s attorney.
