johnson s bloody body was found back in january inside a rolled up wrestling mat in the high school gymnasium. his parents hope this surveillance video from inside the school will help police understand what happened to their son. well, the u.s. attorney says there s a lot of missing pieces to the puzzle. as part of that process there are several questions that must be answered or confirmed. first, what was the cause of mr. johnson s death? second was mr. johnson s death the result of a crime? third, if mr. johnson s death was the result of a crime, who committed that crime? and forth, if a crime in fact was committed, who had the jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute those responsible? gregg: here now is benjamin crump, an attorney for the johnson family. mr. crump, good to see you. you re on record saying this is murder and you think there was a cover-up of that murder. what makes you think so?
