had jobs in College Station, which is 'neither here nor there.'

I know it's two towns, was even thinking of College Station as I wrote, as it referred to University Drive. But they're barely separated in practical terms, as I've driven through both many times.

I'd read the link, that gives the opinion of the defense attorney and sequence of events, but does not answer my real question:

Who beat them, how many there were that beat them, or what in the hell made them want to beat them in the first place?

Guess we will never know at this rate. TY fo the OP. Unfortunately, this will probably be used by OCT or some other RWNJ group.

The history of assaults cited by the plaintiffs has dropped near down to the level of hearsay or rumor, as the article didn't give us anything to review. This seems to be more and more the pattern in our various 'news' stories.

And I do think it will be overturned somewhere in the appeals process, but have mixed feelings on the cause of death, as there is a dispute on whether the injuries would have been fatal without having been in the car.

It's not like this case where a man clearly died of the injuries inflicted by four young people ranging from age 16 to 19. They have all been arrested. The young man who died was only 24 years old and likewise a student in a college town:

Police and prosecutors say Ji was beaten with a bat and suffered a head injury. Detectives said they believe he may have tried to get away from his attackers, only to be beaten a second time, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation.

Despite his injury, Ji managed to make it home to his apartment, where, police said, a roommate found his body later that morning.
