DADE CITY — When Marcus Button awoke from his medically induced coma and was able to speak again, it was with a deep Southern accent even his parents didn't recognize.
He expressed a newfound hatred for white people even though he is white. He thought he had been in outer space and to Thailand. He saw spiders.
"My son who woke up, he was not the same son I gave birth to," his mother, Robin Button, testified.
"He wasn't the same boy," said his father, Mark.
In court Wednesday, they were recalling the weeks after a 2006 car crash that left their son with head injuries. Button, then 16, was riding in a friend's car when a school bus struck them on State Road 54 in Wesley Chapel. The friend escaped with minor injuries. The bus driver was determined to be at fault.
