Carolyn Bryant Donham passed away on Tuesday while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tony-dow-77-dead-day-after-premature-death-announcement\/\" title=\"Tony Dow, 77, Dead Day After Premature Death Announcement\">receiving hospice care<\/a> in Westlake, Louisiana, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/04\/27\/us\/carolyn-bryant-donham-dead.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The Tragic Story of Emmett Till<\/h3>\n<p>Emmett Till was brutally beaten and shot in the head by J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, Donham\u2019s then-husband, after she made the allegations against him. They were arrested but acquitted by an all<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/justice-department-finds-no-proof-emmett-tills-accuser-lied\/\" title=\"Justice Department Finds No Proof Emmett Till\u2019s Accuser Lied\">-white male jury<\/a> in Mississippi in an era before the Civil Rights movement, so no one has been held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, federal investigators began looking into whether Till\u2019s accuser admitted to lying about what, if anything, actually happened between her and Till. That investigation ended in December 2021, with the U.S. Department of Justice apparently failing to find evidence that Donham had lied.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounding Donham&#8217;s Accusations<\/h3>\n<p>Author Timothy B. Tyson reported that Donham recanted her story and said she lied about the incident. But Donham denied lying when she spoke to federal investigators. Tyson stood by his reporting, telling NBC that Donham was not a reliable witness.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ said it found no evidence Donham had ever lied, closing the case without any arrests. In its case document, the DOJ said it could not prosecute Donham or anyone else because it had \u201cnot uncovered any new evidence that would change its conclusion from its 2004 investigation that it was not able to bring federal charges against [Donham] in connection with Till\u2019s abduction and murder.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Family Continues to Seek Justice<\/h3>\n<p>Till\u2019s relatives continued to insist Donham be prosecuted for her role in his lynching, and an attorney for the family told the Associated Press in April 2022 that since a 1955 kidnapping warrant for Donham\u2019s arrest apparently was never dismissed, it could still be used to arrest Donham. However, a grand jury declined to indict Donham in August 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The murder of Emmett Till remains an unforgettable tragedy in this country, and the thoughts and prayers of this nation continue to be with the family of Emmett Till.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1682517572037000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0eoxTLnzKr3rl49f2LXGnU\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The white woman who accused black teenager Emmett Till of whistling at her and touching her in a store in Mississippi in 1955 has died.
