MIAMI (CBS/AP) Fifteen-year-old Michael Brewer, the Deerfield Beach teen doused with rubbing alcohol and set on fire by a group of his peers, has received his second skin graft.
A Jackson Memorial Hospital spokeswoman said Brewer was listed in stable condition after the Dec. 4 procedure. The first graft was Monday.
The attack occurred Oct. 12 and caused burns on about 65 percent of Brewer's body.
