Mississippi Attorney General Says No Plans To Prosecute Woman Involved In Emmett Till's Lynching

Mississippi Attorney General Says There's No Plans To Prosecute Woman Involved In Emmett Till's Lynching.

Mississippi's top law enforcement official has confirmed she doesn’t plan to pursue criminal charges against Carolyn Bryant Donham - the woman involved in the lynching of Black teenager Emmett Till.

In 1955, Donham, a white woman, claimed that 14-year-old Till made ‘advances’ towards her, resulting in his brutal murder.

On 21 August, 1955, Till was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he spoke to Donham, then 21, at a grocery store she owned with her husband, Roy.

Donham accused the teenager of ‘whistling at her’ and ‘attempting to grab her hand’, prompting Roy and his half-brother JW Milam to abduct Till, beat him to within an inch of his life and shoot him.

After killing him, Roy and JW Milam tied a large metal fan to Till's neck using barbed wire. They then tossed his body into a river and were later acquitted of murdering him by an all white jury.

However, because they were protected under the double jeopardy rule, the two men soon admitted they had tortured and murdered Till in a magazine interview.

In recent weeks, Emmett's relatives have called on officials to arrest Donham after an unserved warrant for her arrest was found in a Mississippi courthouse basement.
