  "account": "Former Colorado football player Shilo Sanders testified on Tuesday, September 1 at his bankruptcy trial in Denver that a security guard at his school, John Darjean, \"attacked and assaulted\" him in 2015, contrary to a Texas court's 2022 finding that he was at fault. Sanders alleged that Darjean choked him, caused him to \"black out\", and tore his skin off his arm while trying to confiscate his phone at school. Sanders claimed he ended up in \"excruciating pain\" and was \"choke-slammed\" into a corner by Darjean, causing him to \"hit my head as hard as possibly could happen.\" Shockingly, Sanders testified he had proof that Darjean's hands had torn his skin off.",
