I was definitely playing devil's advocate, but people were jumping to absurd conclusions based on a simple news article with no real facts or expertise.
I just didn't base my theory as to what happened off that 1 article. I've been reading several articles on this case and about the city. Some of the things I found I posted to support what i was saying. 30 people have died in the Lowndes county jail since 1997. Other deaths were ruled suicides. Family of these people believe they were killed due to a number of reasons that could have been prevented. Some people believe their family members were murdered by police in that jail. I posted a link to a video where a guy was talking about how badly he was treated in that jail. No one was ever charged with any deaths in that jail. A Street there is named plantation drive, A couple other places have the name plantation in them too. The African American community wants them changed but the city won't change them. There is a park there named after a slave owner and African Americans have complained about it yet the city still won't change the name. smh Racism is alive and well in that community.
Also Kendrick Johnson's friends think they know who killed him. They said the night before he went missing that Kendrick was involved in a altercation with the sheriff's son. They think the sheriff's son has something to do with it and that is why the sheriff did the autopsy his self to cover up for his son. The sheriff said there was no signs of struggle or no cuts or bruises. The photo's of Kendrick's body show he has bruises and lacerations on his body.
How did the sheriff miss them?
So when I say I feel like the sheriff is covering his death up that is why I come to that conclusion. Is it about race? maybe but it could be about anything. The facts do show that the Sheriff broke the law when he didn't call the coroner to do the autopsy and that's a fact! The sheriff did a few things wrong in this case besides that too and that's is a fact!
