Kendrick Johnson Minisode

Episode 84 Kendrick Johnson Minisode In the winter of 2013, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead inside a rolled up gym mat at Lowndes High School, in Valdosta, Georgia. The police investigation concluded he'd climbed into the middle of it and accidentally suffocated to death when he couldn't get back out. But his parents believed fellow classmates had murdered him and used their father's government position to cover it up. But a federal inquest and a local reopened investigation both concluded Kendrick's death was accidental. The Johnsons don't believe it, and through sit-ins, protests, interviews, and documentaries, the Johnson family has spent almost twenty years trying to get justice for their son.
