well obviously it is ridiculous when you think about the explanation that the sheriff offered, that a 17-year-old exceptionally gifted athlete climbed into a wrestling mat, got stuck, suffocated and died. it flies in the face of all logic, the laws of physics and common sense when you really think about it. this is what they offered to his family. gregg: you ve been a lawyer for great many years and you ve seen that accidents do happen, even tragic accidents. do you have any evidence, including the surveillance tape that would prove otherwise? well, what we do know, gregg, what you won t see in this over 1900 hours of video surveillance that this family had to sue for just to try to find out what happened to their child, you won t see him climbing into a wrestling mat, getting stuck as
