Colin Kaepernick To Fund Independent Autopsy In Tree Hanging

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will pay for an independent autopsy for a student found hanging from a tree on the campus of a Mississippi university. Demartravion Trey Reeds body was found at 7: 05 a. m. on Monday. Sept. 15., according to campus police at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. However, Reeds family has called for an independent autopsy. We will seek answers independently from Delta State University and from the coroners office and, if need be, independent from the state coroners office because we need answer as to what happened to Trey Reed, said family attorney Vaness J. Jones in a statement reported by USA Today. On Friday, civil rights attorney Ben Crump announced that the Colin Kaepernick Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative would cover the cost of a second, independent autopsy for Reed. Reeds family, according to Crump, will seek the autopsy as soon as Reeds body is release by the state medical examiner. Yeah. Black man hanging from a tree in Mississippi? Can’t imagine why they’re suspicious. Kaepernick continues to show himself as one solid dude. read more.
