Andrew Lowery suffered a facial fracture, a concussion, fractured teeth and facial and body bruises during the Aug.19 altercation with suspended LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson, according to an ESPN report.
ESPN also reported that another alleged victim who was pulled out a the car sustained three fractured vertebrae in his lower back, a concussion, fractured teeth and severe cuts and bruises on the face.
Jefferson’s attorney Lewis Unglesby continues to dispute that the quarterback did anything wrong, and said that Jefferson’s celebrity has obstructed the ongoing investigation.
“The fact is that he’s treated differently,” Unglesby said. “That’s what I don’t like. Not by any particular group, but he’s just being treated differently. And any other college student, with the same facts, this would not have evidence.”
Michael Bienvenu, the attorney representing Lowery and the three alleged victims, told The Times-Picayune the incident was not a fight.
“They didn’t throw a punch; they didn’t do anything to provoke it,” Bienvenu said. “It was an attack by 10 to 15 people who have yet to be identified but who need to be identified for justice to be served in the now.”
