Teen Still in Coma After Beating

A 17-year-old New Jersey boy remains comatose nearly two weeks after he was beaten during a fight at Newton Lake Park. Bret Wilson remains at an undisclosed hospital.

An attorney for his family said they are "deeply heart-stricken over this brutal act."

The family also said it has faith that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

Camden County Park Police expect to file charges once some 40 teenagers have been questioned.

Police haven't said what sparked the fight but they believe it began as an argument earlier in the evening. Authorities believe the fight then resumed around 1:30 a.m. in the Camden County Park area.
