From Yoda's
suggested link to gym - these mats look like a kid could wiggle his way into one.
Thanks Salem - edited to add pic w/o minors. I know some can't play videos on phones, etc.
Not to me. I have yet to see how tall and wide Kendrick was in order to make a determination. He was a basketball player.
Is there any reason to believe LE did a bad job investigating this case?

How did the police determine at the scene it wasn't blood on the sneakers without testing it in a lab? I guess you could look at it and think it's paint or something, but then the question is why not collect it.
The blood on the door is a lot greater in quantity than the written reports made it sound. Why didn't the police try to find the DNA match and ask them how it got there? I can't believe that much blood would end up that high without someone sustaining a serious injury that would have been reported. Also, if it had been there for quite some time the school has the worst janitor.
How else would you get your shoes if they were in there?
Tilt the mat. However his body was found inside the mat, with the mat standing up. If the shoe was stuck inside the mat that would make me believe it was wrapped too tight for someone to fit into it.
Hard for me to imagine someone thinking the mat was a nifty place to stuff a body.
Where else could they put it? They couldn't carry it out into the hall. JMO
Go to YouTube and search either rolled in mat or stuck in mat. I watched several videos of kids getting stuck in mats. One even showed boys on top of vertical mats identical to lowndes', wiggling their way out.
I logged out of Youtube to keep from skewing the results, maybe something different will come up for others.
When I typed in stuck in mat this is what came up;

In the following link this cheerleader looks a lot smaller than Kendrick appears to be. I forget what I typed in to find it.

This kid unrolled herself after the others, it appears, has already rolled her up. This begs the question of why didn't he fight to tip the mat and unroll himself?
Claire rolled in a mat haha - YouTube
And plenty of examples of kids getting stuck and requiring several others to get them out.
Please remove in not okay

Your video is the same one I found.
I've just spent the last hour watching teens climb in, roll in, and get stuck in mats. Getting in looked easy, getting out looked difficult.
Jmo
Can you post some more of those videos? TIA
