A Texas jury ruled false a 2021 claim that white students tortured a Black classmate; the boy’s mother and her attorney were ordered to pay $3.2 million.
A 2021 claim that white Texas middle schoolers tortured their Black classmate by forcing him to drink urine and shoot him with BB guns was ruled false by a Texas jury on January 22, 2026.
The story, widely reported by major networks, led to protests and a $120,000 GoFundMe campaign, most of which was spent on personal expenses.
The court ordered $3.2 million in damages against the boy’s mother and her attorney.
The accused boy, Asher Vann, reported death threats and property damage, with no media outlet seeking his side during the initial coverage.
Despite the ruling, major outlets have not issued retractions or apologies.
