Beaten Student Speaks Out

A 22-year-old Brooklyn student beaten into a coma during a barroom brawl last year says he doesn't remember the attack.

Bryan Steinhauer describes himself as "a normal guy stuck in a bad situation who kept a positive attitude and kept my head held high."

Steinhauer spoke haltingly at a news conference Wednesday at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, his parents and doctors at his side.

He was assaulted last May near Binghamton University, where he was studying. Former university basketball player Miladin Kovacevic was arrested but jumped bail and fled to Serbia.

The Serbian government has paid Steinhauer's family $900,000 as part of a deal to prosecute Kovacevic. Kovacevic's lawyer has said his client doesn't believe he would receive a fair trial in the U.S.
