Jiu-Jitsu Student Who Was Paralyzed from Neck Down by Black-Belt Instructor Awarded $56 Million in Court
Jack Greener was left paralyzed from the neck down by his jiu-jitsu instructor in 2018 He was awarded $56 million in court after the jiu-jitsu studio appealed a 2023 verdict Greener's cervical vertebrae was crushed when his instructor placed his full body weight on himA California man has been awarded $56 million after he was left paralyzed from the neck down by his jiu-jitsu instructor. Jack Greener suffered the life-changing spinal cord injury at Del Mar Jiu-Jitsu Club in 2018 when he sought out the help of instructor Francisco Iturralde, a second-degree black belt also known as "Sinistro." Then a 23-year-old beginner white belt, Greener was sparring with Iturralde, 33, when his cervical vertebrae was crushed, according to NBC and CBS. Greener's injury happened when the instructor placed his full body weight on the student, ultimately rendering him quadriplegic, per CBS. He spent several months in the hospital and reportedly suffered multiple strokes during treatment, his attorneys told the outlet. A 2023 trial that lasted weeks awarded Greener, now 30, $46,475,112.33 in damages. The defendants appealed, but the California Supreme Court declined to overturn the verdict on Tuesday, June 3 and the amount now exceeds $56 million after post-judgment interest. At the time, Greener was set to graduate from college just weeks after the injury and was pursuing a career as a professional surf instructor, his attorneys told CBS. In a video shared on YouTube in 2022, Greener recalled the incident. "When it occured, the first thought that came to mind was, 'I'm going to be okay,' and then the second thought was, 'Oh s---, I can't move.' " Iturralde, who began practicing jiu-jitsu at 13, is known for his "dynamic, aggressive grappling style," according to his Digitsu biography. His style "earned him the nickname 'Sinistro,' meaning 'Sinister,' " his bio reads.

According to NBC, the jury determined Iturralde's actions "unreasonably increased the risks" to his student "beyond those inherent in Brazilian jiu-jitsu" and that instructors may be held liable for "negligent conduct." Rahul Ravipudi, one of Greener's attorneys, praised the final ruling in a statement to NBC and said it "cements a critical legal victory not only for our client, but also for injured athletes across California by reaffirming that sports instructors and facilities may be held accountable when they unreasonably increase risks beyond those inherent in the sport."

Parents Face Charges After Driver Kills 7-Year-Old Crossing The Street
Parents grieving the death of their 7-year-old son, hit and killed by an SUV driver in May, are facing charges because police said he was 'unsupervised' while crossing the street with his 10-year-old brother. Jessica Ivey, the mother of 7-year-old Legend Jenkins, told WSOC-TVbefore her arrest that she had allowed the boys to walk to a grocery store two blocks away from their home in Gastonia, North Carolina, on May 27. A 76-year-old woman driving a Jeep Cherokee hit the younger boy just before 6 p.m. as he was trying to cross a four-lane road, the Gastonia Police Department said in a press release. He died in a hospital hours after the accident from his injuries. Legend's mother and father, Samuele Jenkins, were charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and child neglect in the 7-year-old's death. They also face a misdemeanor charge of child neglect. Records show they are being held in Gaston County Jail on $150,000 bond each. 'While the Gastonia Police Department offers its deepest sympathies to the family for the heartbreaking loss of their child, the investigation revealed that the children involved were unsupervised at the time the boy stepped into traffic,' police wrote in the release. 'In such cases, adults must be held accountable for their responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for their children.' The Gastonia police department has received massive backlash following news of the parents' arrests, with numerous people expressing their outrage on social media. The department declined to comment on the controversy. The 76-year-old driver who struck Legend with her vehicle has not been charged. Police said there was no evidence of wrongdoing, noting that she was not speeding and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. Legend's grieving mother believes the woman's driving privileges should be revoked. 'It's hard, I haven't stopped crying; my husband hasn't stopped crying,' she told WSOC-TV.
