arrest warrant found for Carolyn Bryant Donham(Emmett Till)

[NewOrleans]

oh my god what does it take to hold this woman accountable?  Just this week I saw that a 101 year old Nazi has been sentenced to 5 years for being an accessory to 3500 murders.  So toss her in jail.

The family of Emmett Till is calling for the woman linked to the Black teen’s kidnapping in 1955 to be arrested after a team searching for new evidence into the infamous lynching found an unserved warrant for her that was never executed almost 70 years ago.

Leflore County Circuit Clerk Elmus Stockstill told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the search group, which included two of Till’s relatives and members of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, discovered a warrant for the arrest of Carolyn Bryant Donham — identified as “Mrs. Roy Bryant” on the document — in a file folder in the basement of a Mississippi courthouse last week.

If only it were that easy. Articles I have read have said records are all a jumble and they have to do investigating to see the info surrounding the warrant and that it is possible it was addressed and a deal was made. Wherever she lives now the DA would have to be willing to move on this too or coordinate on it. Sounds like more work will have to be done.

Grand jury says no charges.

Not surprising, but still devastating.

White womanhood stands the test of time.

I wasn’t optimistic on this, but this still made me mad and so, so sad.

Same, I didn't expect anything to happen, but feel bad that the family had some hope that was dashed again.
