Grand jury declines to indict woman in Emmett Till killing

A grand jury in Mississippi declined to indict the White woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Black teenager Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago. Carolyn Bryant Donham, now 88, initially claimed that Till made unwanted advances toward her, prompting her husband and brother-in-law to abduct, torture and lynch the 14-year-old.

For those saying she didn’t do anything, look up what PERJURY is. She lied in court and she confessed to Emmett grabbing her wasn’t true years later. And we absolutely should not “leave her alone” because she is the one who started the end of Emmett’s life for lying about something so serious; by saying this you are allowing her to escape facing her consequences.

[@robinsss]

''''''''she confessed to Emmett grabbing her wasn’t true years later.''''' when and where did she confess that?

[@rangecat]

Back in 2007 she did an interview with a reporter and she admitted it was an “overexaggeration”. Years later, the book “The Blood of Emmett Till” was published in 2017, and in that book mentioned the interview with Carolyn. It’s been 16 years since she first confessed to it and nothing has happened to her, and that is what makes people like me upset because she is allowed to get away with something so dangerous.

[@robinsss]

@@rangecat it was an over exaggeration is not very specific

[@rangecat]

@@robinsss Look up the interview and the articles that came out after the book was published. The fact still stands and she did confess that it wasn’t true. Do not try to excuse what she did.

[@honestlyonly2328]

A Nurse once said she was taking care of an old white woman on her death bed, she confessed she was being haunted by a black boy. She knew this boy back in the 1940s, because his sisters had prettier dresses than her, *SHE LIED THAT HE RAPED HER!!!* . Sadly this boy was lynched, his genitals cut off and family home burned to the ground 😞…and her life went on like nothing happened…until now…. The nurse said that the woman kept asking “Will I be forgiven?” And the nurse just told her *”Only the boy staring at you in the corner of your room can answer that”* which she was too afraid to respond. Moral of the story: *The Truth will always find you!*

Doesn't matter if she'd been arrested, the persons who beat him to death were arrested found not guilty then afterwards admitted they did it because double jeopardy means you can't be tried for the same crime twice even if you admit you did it afterwards. What a broken system we have indeed.

[@datname1939]

@jim hardy the person who accused him admitted that he did no such thing. Your response is very telling of your character though. Hope the time never comes where your future or present sons and daughters will have to worry about being beaten to death, castrated, mutilated, lynched and tied to a fan and thrown in a lake because of a lie. Even if it were true it still wouldn't matter or justify the action, you say in an age like it wasn't barely 40 years ago that age somewhat died down.

Like many people, I’ve seen funeral pictures of Emmett. To me, he always looked older than 14 (perhaps because he was bloated). Today I found one that I had never seen before.

It seemed even sadder to realize just how small he really was.
