victor blackwell is on the story. he joins us once again. what does it show, victor? >> reporter: we've got this 12-second clip from the only angle that shows the matter. you can see it's a dark gym then a light over the area where the mats are comes on and you can see a person walking in that direction and then the video stops. now, why is it so blurry? that's our question to the sheriff's office and to the school district. of the 36 cameras inside and outside of windows and doors and cafeterias and hallways, only this kaem thcamera that shows t matter is blurry. but again, a dark gym, someone flips on a light where the hats are where kendrick johnson is found dead and a person walks along that area in that direction and that's it, anderson? >> and then disappears, also which is odd and sort of stops, again, more questions i guess than answers. victor, appreciate the update. >>> isha has the 360 bulletin. >> world palestinian leader poisoned. findings from swiss scientists say levels found on samples of his remains and person effects quote moderately support that the

here's cnn's victor blackwell. >> reporter: cnn has hired grant fredericks and his team at forensic video solutions to analyze the hundreds of hours of surveillance from the high school. although he does not believe that jumpy video is the result of editing, he says there are some other major problems. >> those files are not original files. they're not something that an investigator should rely on for the truth of the video. they've been altered in a number of ways. primarily in image quality. and likely in dropped information. information loss. there are also a number of files that are corrupted, because they've not been processed correctly and are not playable. so i can't say why they were done that way, but they were not done correctly, and they were not done thoroughly. so we're missing information. >> reporter: fredericks says that's likely due to our investigators acquired the surveillance video. >> right now what they've done is they have left it up to the school district to define what it is they want to provide the police, and the i think that probe is a mistake. >> reporter: acc
