Attorneys for the family of a 17-year-old student found dead in a rolled-up gym mat at a southern Georgia high school called on authorities Thursday to release surveillance video that they say could show what happened.
Kendrick Johnson, they allege, was slain in January - counter to authorities' conclusions that the three-sport athlete suffocated in the mat while reaching for a sneaker.
"There is one eyewitness that we know is available - it is the video recordings made from surveillance cameras there in the gymnasium where the body was found," attorney Chevene B. King Jr. told reporters in Valdosta, Georgia.
FULL STORY
This story is sick. If the FBI is not all over this BS, Southern crap. Notice the mats are all rolled up tight except this one. Cause he was rolled up in it after they killed him. Stuffed with newpaper, how disrepectful is that? I will make a prediction: they will not be able to find the tape. FBI get on it.
That poor kid was beat up all to hell. There is no way he died of natural causes, no matter what is said. He didn't roll himself up. This is disgraceful. It reeks of coverup!
@banasy – Hello- And now the parents have to grieve and fight for justice. This may be put in moderation. lol
Hi, SM. Yes, the ball was definitely dropped here. Always trying to take the path of least resistance, the lazy dopes.
Why didn't they watch the surveillance video before now? Something seemed wrong about this happening from the first report. The least sinister possibility, to me, was that Johnson had taken some drug that altered his judgement.
Justice should be done for this man and his family!
WHAT plausable reason could they possibly give for this boy being stuffed with newspaper! There isn't a funeral parler in the world that does that! Yup EXTREMELY fishy!
Oops meant "parlor" sorry.
People DONT have their organs stolen and their bodys stuffed with newspaper@ rupert! You think thats an ok procedure do ya? And if he was "killed" than they need to be brought to justice! How would you feel if it were you child?
If he dropped his shoe, I would think you would push the mat over not go in head first. @Joey-fishy is right.
Hi my peoples! It's been a while since I've passed by buy I just wanted to say hi, so HI!!! I've been busy fighting/exposing the Duopoly and not being able to post 3/4's of the time gets pretty old.
So hi Banasy, chrissy, bobcat (in a hat) and saywhat, I'll be trying to stop by more often. Miss you guys! 🙂
Btw, pay no attention to this hoax they call a "shutdown". It's nothing but theatre meant to keep those who wrongly believe in the two party system that we cannot survive without the Great and Might State! 😀 I'm not afraid they'll reach an agreement, (they will at the 11th hour as always), I'm more afraid of more of the same demagoguing. 🙁
Hi back @ revnow good to see you too. And of course they will do something. After all the stock market is dropping so now its affecting THEM! Lol
@chrissy- them being the people (I use that loosely) that really control everything, economics, paychecks, and the hill.
Video "that could" show what happened. O.K. I'm oughta here. Later bye.
"They say could show what happened?" See bye later...bye.
Well @ mama according to reports yesterday some major corporations CEOs got together and told the GOTP congressional brats that if they didnt end this there would be no more campaign funding from them! So the stock market is scareing them i would guess!
Enjoy that teaparty!
Texas get your head out.
Just to many things wrong in this case! Didn't process ALL of the evidence. "Video" withheld, or delayed? Difference in cause of death. OUTSIDE investigation is warrented here! And the missing organs & newspaper is pure disgust! WHOEVER, did this should loose any license they have and face some jail time!
