Surveillance video in Kendrick Johnson case appears to have been tampered with [View all]

Kendrick Johnson footage released; expert finds it 'highly suspicious'

(CNN) -- Kendrick Johnson's family waited months for hundreds of hours of surveillance video, hoping it would answer their questions. It raised only others.

Rather than showing how their 17-year-old son's body ended up in a school gym mat in January, the four cameras inside the Valdosta, Georgia, gymnasium showed only a few collective seconds of Johnson, jogging. The camera fixed on the gym mats was blurry.

Compounding the family's suspicions was the nature of the gym videos. They're jumpy, with students intermittently appearing and vanishing, and they bear no obvious timestamps.

The Johnsons' attorneys were not shy in stating their suspicion that someone could have tampered with the videos.

This story is from last week but I missed it and don't know if it ever got posted here, but this case stinks to high heaven and it deserves attention so that the people involved in this coverup are held accountable.
