Why Isn’t A Possible Lynching in NC National News? dailykos/story/2014/11/20/1346362/-Why-Isn-t-A-Possible-Lynching-in-NC-National-News Lennon Lacy, 17 found hanging from a swing set in a largely white trailer park Suicide Ruling in North Carolina Teens Death Challenged in New Review of Case Forensic pathologist questions procedures followed by authorities after Lennon Lacy, 17, was found hanging from a swing set in a largely white trailer park. There was no item present at the scene that he could have stood on, applied the noose then kicked away... The noose, which was fashioned out of two belts, did not appear to Roberts to be long enough for Lacy to have got his head through from the position on the swing set at which he would have had to be standing. The pathologist was also bemused by the fact that when Lacy’s body was placed in a body bag he was wearing white sneakers that were two sizes too small for him, shoes which were nowhere to be seen by the time the body arrived at the medical examiner’s office. “It is not the usual practice for the police to remove clothing from the body before transport,” Roberts says. Roberts’ findings do agree with the autopsy report in some important regards. She says fears Lacy’s face showed a large bump on the right forehead could be discounted, given photos taken at the autopsy in which no such contusion was visible. She also agrees that marks on his face were due to ant bites... alternet.org/suicide-ruling-north-carolina-teens-death-challenged-new-review-case alternet.org
