Attorney Benjamin Crump said he wants to bring national attention to Georgia after the death of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson.
Crump is no stranger to the national spotlight. He represented Trayvon Martin's family and helped pushed for prosecution in that case.
A jury exonerated neighborhood watch George Zimmerman.
Crump is now representing Johnson's family.
The teen was found dead in his high school gym in January. His body was stuck upside down in a rolled-up wrestling mat.
Investigators with Lowndes County Sheriff's Office ruled his death accidental.
Today Crump joined Johnson's parents outside the Superior Courthouse in Lowndes County.
He called the death a murder and suggested calling it accidental is an insult to Johnson's family.
"It flies in the face of all common sense. So I stand here with Attorney King, proclaiming that we will solve this murder-mystery. We will get to the truth," said Crump.
In June, Johnson's parents were granted a court order to have his body exhumed for a second, independent autopsy.
"Kendrick was the light of the family. They didn't give my son any justice," said Kenneth Johnson.
Kenneth Johnson said he and his wife were horrified to learn their son's internal organs had been removed and his body was stuffed with newspapers.
"We have been let down again and when we buried Kendrick, we thought we were burying Kendrick, not half of Kendrick," said Johnson.
These people need some free government money.
Why didn’t you address this post to the poster who made the comment???
But *naturally* the parents aren't buying it. Thanks to 'Barry and the Race-Baiters' --- Appearing nightly Thursday-Sunday for your dancing pleasure, 9:00-3:00 am --- there are no accidents, every black kid who dies today is murdered by some creepy azz cracker™, and they 'Demand Justice®'.
Paint with a broad brush much.
As far as the evisceration, I suggest the grasping Mr. Crump contact the mortuary. As surprising as he would no doubt find it, that is part of the embalming process.
Ahhhh. . .makes sense. Thanks.
Did you see the picture of the hoodie that was left at the scene???
The name on the hoodie is “Hollister”
Perhaps Crump should exhume the body of that client of his down in Sanford.
Not sure this offensive FReeper claims to be a Christian. It’s not in his/her/its “about” page, anyhow.
lmao.
Yeah I think I gotta go with Krump on this one.
Spending all eternity with articles by Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman stuffed inside you should be actionable.
Too many of them. General all around post.
Hollister is a clothing brand.
made famous by Trayvon Martin.
I believe you are right. Probably a shortcutof sometype.
Been to many autopsies? Each organ is removed, weighed, sectioned, sampled and examined. I concede that what is left is put back in. Like giblets in a Thanksgiving turkey.
As for the newspaper, I’d guess that is more likely the result of the mortician maybe taking a shortcut.
Oh my, that’s not how it described in the article when it happened. Thanks for sharing that. I digress.
Thanks for that info. I was wondering what happened to the boy. RIP
I thought journalism school *was* at the bottom. This would be the sludge at the bottom of the sludge. The kind that works loose only after multiple hard scrapes.
My friend, you have seen this incident based on
sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn’t
happen? Perhaps on your way home you will
pass someone in the dark, and you will never
know it, for they will be from outer space.
Is that the actual photo of how they found him???
According to the DM article the sheriff said that students who didn’t have lockers kept personal belongings such as gym shoes on top of rolled-up wrestling mats left propped up behind the gym bleachers.
“Investigators found some of Johnson’s books and one tennis shoe near the body and believe they tumbled from atop the mat when a gym coach frantically pulled it over trying to free Johnson after students spotted his feet.”

I don’t think the gym coach would have stopped to take this photo before trying to unroll this mat and see if he is still alive.
So where did this photo come from???
