Mississippi sheriff declares arrest warrant for Emmett Till accuser moot
Fox News
Leflore County, Mississippi Sheriff Ricky Banks has declined to serve a 1955 arrest warrant for Carolyn Donham, who was reportedly involved in Emmett Till's kidnapping and murder.
The Mississippi arrest warrant for "Mrs. Roy Bryant" was issued shortly after Till's death but was never served on the white woman who has since remarried and is now known as Carolyn Bryant Donham.
Last June, a team doing research at the courthouse in Leflore County, Mississippi, found the unserved warrant. In July, the office of Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch said there was no new evidence to pursue a criminal case against Donham. In August, a district attorney said a Leflore County grand jury declined to indict Donham.
