Kendrick Johnson: Revelation from CNN: Surveillance footage shows other minors inside a Georgia high school gym at about the same time authorities say he suffocated in a rolled-up mat while reaching for a sneaker; Attornies for Kendrick family want release of the surveillance video.

STORY:  "School attorney: Others in surveillance footage in Kendrick Johnson gym mat death case," published by CNN on October 18, 2013.

GIST: "Surveillance footage shows other minors inside a Georgia high school gym at about the same time authorities say Kendrick Johnson suffocated in a rolled-up mat while reaching for a sneaker, an attorney for the school told CNN on Friday. The attorney's acknowledgement came in a response to a CNN open records request asking whether other minors were recorded in the footage inside the Lowndes County High School gym on January 10 between 1:09 p.m. and 1:20 p.m., a span of about 10 minutes after Johnson entered the gym. "I answer your pointed question with 'yes,'" L. Warren Turner Jr.. the attorney, wrote in the letter. CNN made the request after the school declined to release certain surveillance photos or video, citing state law that exempts the release of "education records of a minor child." It's the latest revelation in a case that has seen Kendrick's parents challenge the account of authorities and demanded an inquest into the teen's death. Attorneys for Kendrick's family have called for the release of the surveillance video."
