In 2017, Professor Timothy Tyson unearthed what appeared to be a key piece of evidence in one of the most haunting and grisly murders of the Jim Crow Era: a recantation from the woman at the center of the case who had accused Till of making sexual advances at her over 60 years ago. Emmett Till's childhood home is now a landmark in ChicagoYet after an exhaustive investigation, the Justice Department has now concluded it cannot prove the woman lied to federal investigators.
Armed with Tyson's new claims, federal investigators once again spoke to Donham. But she denied ever recanting her earlier testimony.Read MoreSources familiar with the investigation say that the critical statements Tyson attributed to Donham were not recorded or transcribed, and he gave inconsistent statements of whether a recording had ever been made. CNN has reached out to Tyson for comment.
How sad.
His murder was unjustified PERIOD. Regardless of what she said or didn’t say.
Such an injustice! 😢
Didn’t she already admit that she made the story up?
Lmao who cares if she lied or not? He didn’t do anything that warranted a lynching.
So what if she lied or not.. they still should get the death penalty for killing him. So basically it was ok to do what they did because they can’t prove she lied?
TeaTimeTips2 His lying accuser has gotten away with murder, but her judgment awaits on the other side. Hell is going to be mighty hot! 😡
Elected Democrat at work.
Why is it a question of whether she lied or not rather why a 14 year old boy was brutally murdered by a bunch of men over supposed wolf whistling. Why do we do everything possible to try justify murders of black folk?!!
Sadly the perpetrators in this devastating murder or this poor child or probably all dead and Justice probably will never be served rest in peace and
Racism is a contagious disease
She admitted on her death bed that she lied
😡😡😡😡😡
CNN is so starved for racism they keep digging up a story from 70 years ago
And here the Brits are still trying to find Jack the Ripper.
At this point it’s like their dangling this in our faces, she confessed she lied. I’m not understanding why are they acting oblivious?
Carolyn Bryant confessed that she lied, she deserves to be arrested. If the roles were reversed, you know we would not have this conversation.
''There remains considerable doubt as to the credibility of (Donham's) original account of what happened inside the store,' the DOJ memo went on to explain.' No shit, Sherlocks. 😠
It's amazing that liberal devils can put anything to rest esp. this.
That lady should not experience a day of peace for the remainder of her life. Everyone should make her life a living hell.
She shoulda been executed or faced a life sentence for getting that kid tortured and killed.
Merrick Garland is not the guy needed at the DOJ! Obama missed with this one…..
If the DOJ can’t find any evidence about this, how can we expect them to do anything about tRump and his cronies? A big disappointment.
only the kkk can govern Georgia through kkk tv, its more black population in Georgia, south Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, North Carolina, Maryland, Louisiana, all these states are in a state of 9/11, because they know they are out numbered now
Darn
If DOJ likes investigating young blacks murdered, wait til they see Chicago!
Way to fail justice. Thanks to the Biden DOJ
you cant judge these decades old cases now just by going over the files. All these black men being suddenly pardoned is just BLM agenda politics. Liberal panels overriding long detailed court cases just by pouring over the documents & deciding there wasnt enough evidence! Opinion
😞😞😞😢😢
I see we’re bringing out the Emmett Till propaganda again…
No shit
💔
That really is important to us
Reading this gave me an instant headache 🤯
I hate cnn thanks to cnnturk using your name in turkey
How is this different from when someone lies to get someone else to murder for them again?
Biden’s Justice Department
Part of the democrat party legacy.
I thought she already stated that she lied Why wasn’t this recorded 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
After failing to prove a key witness lied 65 years later ? Hmmm
Some people are good liars.
You are lair
Donald Trump’s America
Woman who said Till was flirting and messing with her is still alive. This isn't ancient history. Regardless if he flirted, that is enough for child to be brutally beaten to death by grown men and them found not guilty in trial that lasted like 2minutes?
