1 of 3 teens sentenced in Beverly beating

The Corliss High School student could be held until his 21st birthday for his role in the July 2006 attack on Rusch.

The student is one of three black teens who, prosecutors say, attacked Rusch in Chicago's Beverly Park because he was "a goofy white kid."

Rusch had three heart-valve replacement surgeries before the attack. The beating left him in a coma for several days and with partial vision loss in one eye.
