Georgia Law Officials Should Be Investigated for Murder Cover-up

Why is it that some news stories are so far-fetched that you know the victim must have been Black, even though no racial details are provided.  Seventeen year old Kendrick Johnson from South Georgia was found dead, rolled up in a carpet in the high school gymnasium.  The Georgia coroner declared that the kid had been asphyxiated, having crawled into the rolled up carpet looking for a missing shoe.  Well guess what?  The family forced authorities to exhume the body and it turned out that his brain, heart and other internal organs were missing.   Newspaper had been stuffed in the body cavity to bulk up the space where the organs had been removed.  An examiner hired by the boy's family also insisted that the cause of death appeared to be a "non-accidental" blunt force trauma. (Clarification -- the removal of Kendrick's organs appears to have occurred after death, possibly at the time the original autopsy was performed.-- not that this aside makes the whole situation any clearer.)

So what did Georgia law officials have to say about this horrifying discovery?  Well for one thing, they explained that even though cameras were monitoring that section of the gym, they could not release the tapes because they did not have the permission of  parents whose children may have appeared on the videotape. And for another, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said that the agency stands by its original findings of accidental asphyxiation, insisting:  "We have an excellent team of medical examiners, and we stand by them 100 percent."

And sure enough Kendrick Johnson turned out to be Black.  (See photo below)
