You think the white pointy hood found nearby was considered in the investigation?

Cause of death was suicide? Does the report specify if his death was actually due to strangulation or broken neck? That ought to say something, because I donāt believe someone could get enough momentum going off a 7ā6" swing set to break his neck. If it was strangulation, it would be a lengthy and horrible way to, and it doesnāt sound like he was motivated enough to undergo that kind of torment.
Too many things add up to too many questions, and now a lot of the evidence, like possible footprints around the swing set, has been destroyed.

Its becoming extremely difficult to trust law enforcement in this country. Thatās probably not a good thing for the Democracy.

Before he tied his own hands behind his back.
āHereās a mother who knows at the end of the day sheās going to have to accept that either it was a suicide or it was a lynching,ā Barber said. āAnd because of the history of the South and the history of this country, in some strange way, she would almost rather it be a suicide.ā
Thatās horrible. No mother should have to endure that.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven - just like so many other āincidentsā involving black youngsters.

No mention here of the guy being in an affair with a local married woman, whose husband is from the area and lived within sight of the swingset?
Sure, this makes perfect sense. Excited to be back on the team, he went out for a jog, removed his shoes and put on some other ill-fitting shoes for what Iām sure was a perfectly good reason, managed to get hold of a dog leash and belt somewhere (because why would you bring your own stuff from home? Better to scrounge around and see what random happenstance can provide), and hanged himself. Textbook.
I havenāt read anything about the actual crime scene other than his feet were only a few inches off the ground and that he was hanging from a swing set. Usually when you hang yourself you stand on a chair or boxā¦attach the noose to a overhead fixture and then jump off whatever you used to elevate yourself.
Was there any evidence this happened?
