Suicide or Lynching Written by Megan Darlington

A teen was found hung in the center of the community he lived in recently. The big issue here is that the autopsy says that he hung himself, but his mother believes differently. She believes that he was lynched! There are some weird factors in this case. The 17 year old was dating a 31 year old woman, and when he was found hanging, he wasn't wearing the shoes he left the house in earlier that day. He left wearing Jordan's size 12, and was found in Nikes size 10.5. Also a family member had recently died so people say he was depressed.
I think that this case is crazy. Personally, I think he committed suicide, but with all the weird facts, you never know. If he was lynched, this relates to what we are learning now in class. Groups such as the KKK would hang people just for the fact that they were not white, such as this kid. The shoe thing is a little weird, but at the same time, the kid was really depressed.
