Kendrick Johnson was not killed by a cheerleading mat

Unexplained. There ya go.

copied...pasted

You don't crawl in a rolled up mat to get your shoe, suffocate then come out all bloody and mangled. Can't happen.

So your key piece of evidence for murder and you don't even know what it is :confused:

I'm sorry, but what was the point of this thread again?
 
New pic showing defensive wounds abound. Maybe cut marks. No honest person can deny it looks like a homicide.

Already been dubunked

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unresolved...kendrick_johnsons_death_is_not_an_unresolved/

What's not new is people like yourself who simply deny facts and reality. There was a massive amount of blood that to his day has been ignored by all those who looked at this case except for my few posts on this absurd cover-up. Everything I've posted is brand new at least in regards to a different view of the evidence.

Even the teacher (Phillip Pipelow) who pulled down the mat reported seeing a pool of blood on the ground. No mention of the black shoe or where the blood was in relation to his head.

Look at the facts. No suspects, no motives, no opportunities.

And he can not even describe the allegedly fatal wound.

In the interest of not wasting time,... Dr. William Anderson is a private pathologist hired by the Johnson family who examined the body after it was exhumed. Based on this second autopsy Dr. Anderson determined that Kendrick died of “blunt force trauma, right neck.

On what basis did Dr. Anderson come to that conclusion? From a bruise, about 2-3 centimeter long.

That’s it.

There were no neck or throat bone fractures, or fractures of any kind anywhere and no signs of internal exsanguination. The entire conclusion was based on just one tiny bruise measuring about an inch long. Apparently this would be the very first and only time in history that an injury like this has been the cause of death. Curiously, Dr. Anderson doesn't claim Kendrick was beaten.

According to Dr. Anderson Kendrick died of a bruise on his neck but was not beaten.

Yeah, that makes total sense.

It could have been better.
 
Kendrick Johnson Death Mystery: Top 10 Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com
crime scene item #'s 7, 8, and 10 were saturated in blood so they were placed into drying cabinet # 1 and I maintained the keys.

The shoes in the mat don't have blood on them that I've ever seen. This case is nuts. Could the staging of this photo have anything to do with it? The shoes were on the opposite side.:rofl

8- The shoes in the mat.
7- black shoe near his head, but not in the video.
10- paper towels in girls restroom.

 
Who is Kendrick Johnson?
 
Who is Kendrick Johnson?

A high school student who unfortunately died in an accident at school which his nutbag, attention whore, donation stealing parents tried to blame on two kids (both of whom have solid alibi's) whose dad just happens to conveniently work for the FBI (evil gubmint - enter the CT angle).
 
Of course he never got into a mat and neither did KJ. That's common sense.

Me and Kendrick Johnson ‘KJ’ had third block gym together in coach Davis’ class. At the beginning of class I would always wait for coach to call roll then I’d go get me and Kendrick’s basketball shoes. I would tilt the mats over and get the shoes from the bottom, I never got into a mat,” Student C said.

Thanks. I had a mental picture of a mat leading some cheerleaders through a routine.

You can't change established facts without challenging them. Those facts stand until challenged.

You cannot change them in order to make an accident case where one doesn't exist.

He never fell into a mat because that's just stupid. You need video or you have nothing.

Being upside down in a mat doesn't prove anything on its own.

His face was swollen to the degree that it was distorted and there was bleeding. That is consistent with homicide.

There was blood everywhere and it hasn't been explained. It points to a struggle along with other things.
 
7forever's whole case is premised on the idea that 17 year old boys never do anything stupid.

Mark needs video, but they deny it exists. It don't show what Mark wants to believe.

I have not seen any video therefore have no idea what you are on about (as usual). I know why Kendrick went head first down the mat, do you?

No he doesn't.

If you believe a video exists, then post it. Your quote, "...........but they deny it exists".

I read that. The only video is of him entering the gym, but not reaching the mats.

can you prove that the camera covered the mat area? I would bet it doesn't.

I know it does because footage from later in the day reached that far, but it was blurry. Come on Mikey. Go to youtube and look at some stuff. Doesn't take that long.
 
Look at the facts. No suspects, no motives, no opportunities.

You WANT this to be an accident, and for that reason YOU have a limited point of view.

Biology and physics have not been tested.

If you really wanted to put those laws to the test, I suppose you could stuff your self in

a gym mat and see how well you fair
...this is me thinking you won't because you wouldn't fall in or out.

but if you're so sure...why wouldn't you?
 
There's no photograph of that.

Well, THAT has nothing to do with the post you are responding to.

Since 7forever seems once again intent to keep the discussion off topic and not progressing in his own thread :eek: I'll cut to the chase and get this project moving forward. I hope Calamity is not reading this because I will exceed 500 words and we know how his brain melts down after 100.

First off, lets start with the necessary context, unsurprisingly missing from the OP:
Kendrick Johnson was a 17-year-old student at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, GA. On 11 January, 2013 Kendrick was found dead inside a rolled-up wrestling mat in an inverted position, head-first, upside down in the schools "old" gym. After a 4 month investigation the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office ruled the death an accident. The autopsy performed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) determined the cause of death as positional asphyxia. Kendrick’s parents Jackie and Kenneth Johnson dispute this and maintain that Kendrick’s death was a homicide committed by fellow students.

The old gym at LHS was used to store equipment including 6-foot gym mats (wrestling mats), some of which would be rolled up and then stood vertically, some of which were sided. Many students including Kendrick would store gym clothes and equipment inside the rolled up vertical mats to avoid paying locker fees. When they needed to get their stuff they would just tip the mat over far enough to grab it out from underneath. During Christmas break many more wrestling mats were added to the collection in the gym.

Around 1:30 pm on 10 January, Kendrick Johnson was seen on the school’s video surveillance cameras walking into the old gym to get a pair of shoes he and another student stored in the mats. No one followed Kendrick, and no one else walks into the gym for another three minutes after he entered. On that day, Kendrick’s previously accessible storage mat was now buried behind several new mats moved into the gym over the Christmas break. Kendrick was marked absent from his next class and failed to return home after a freshmen basketball game he was supposed to attend that afternoon. Kendrick's mother reported him missing to police at midnight and to the school the next morning.

Around 10:30 am a few female students were sitting on sided mats when they noticed socks sticking out the top of one of the upright mats. One student climbed the bleachers to look inside and saw Kendrick’s body. Unable to pull Kendrick out the student called 911 on a cell phone. Then, with the help of a teacher, some of the students knocked over the mat and partially pulled Kendrick out head-first, but it quickly became obvious from the smell of decomposition and the presence of blood and vomit that Kendrick was already dead. Kendrick had been dead in an inverted position for 21 hours.

Every student present when Kendrick was found was interviewed their stories all lined up. Investigators took video was taken of the scene (which I will not link too but you can find yourself if you want - its GRAPHIC!). Investigators found 2 pairs of shoes in the mat with Kendrick. One pair he had been wearing and were off but near his feet when he was found. Kendrick’s socks were partially pulled off. The other pair were the pair he was retrieving and were on the floor, near his head where they had been stored.

The only blood found at the scene was inside the mat. Nothing outside the mat or on the school book and yellow folder Kendrick was carrying. No blood was found on his legs, feet or on the shoes he was wearing. Some old blood was found on a column near the mats, but it was determined to not be from Kendrick. Bloody tissues found in the girls bathroom trash can contained female DNA and were determined to be from a student who was hit in the face with a flag during a practice. No blood was found in or on the second pair of shoes on the floor either, the blood having dripped from Kendrick onto the floor and pooling around the shoes which makes it extremely unlikely Kendrick was bleeding before he went into the mat, only after.

Based on that information can anyone hazard a guess as to what happened? Anyone besides 7forever?

OK, here's my take. Kendrick, unable to retrieve his shoes the usual way by simply tipping over his mat because a bunch of other mats had been stacked in front of it, decided to try and grab the shoes by reaching down from the top. In the process of doing this he got stuck and his attempts to extricate himself failed, which is when his shoes came off. He then suffocated - positional asphyxia.

Or one could claim he was murdered if one so chooses but don't forget about the complete lack of suspects, motive, murder weapon, physical evidence, and witnesses.
 
Case closed. Time to move on.
