VALDOSTA, Ga. — Brian Bell is a linebacker without a team, just the latest twist in a complicated tale in which race and class intersect with a mysterious death that authorities call accidental but that an aggrieved and grieving family allege was murder.
Florida State University withdrew a football scholarship offer to Bell in January, one year after FSU had offered it — and two years after the death of Kendrick Johnson, Bell's former teammate at Lowndes High School who was found dead in a rolled-up gym mat at their school in January 2013.
Law enforcement officials theorize that Johnson, 17, went into the upright mat to retrieve athletic shoes he'd put inside, got stuck and died of accidental asphyxiation. Johnson's family does not believe the official version. They allege he was killed by blunt-force trauma and put into the mat.

How could blunt force trauma be missed in an autopsy? It's something that leaves clear evidence.
Easy, look at the cornier. These people are not honest. They do what is politically correct. Especially when the Victim is Black.
