White woman not indicted for Emmett Till's murder. . . .

I am so disappointed about this. . . This woman is DIRECTLY responsible for this young man's torture and execution at the hands of her redneck husband and (I think) brother-in-law?

Germany goes after concentration camp guards, and I don't see why this woman cannot be asked to answer for her lies that killed Emmett Till.

I am more than disgusted.

They could question her in hospice, or they could roll her in a wheelchair to the courthouse.

Cold? Maybe. . . But not a fraction of what she did to Emmett Till.

Sometimes I wish I believed in hell, as it would give me so much pleasure just thinking about some of the assholes who must be down there. . . ..

I was hopeful that there would be some semblance of justice...as for her being in hospice care, I don't believe it and I don't care.

Fwiw, I don't think age should rule out standing trial if there was sufficient evidence that a crime was committed, or sentencing to prison if mental state allowed her to understand why she was there. The grand jury decided it did not.

Poor little Emmet who somewhere will always be 14. He'd be a year younger than my husband if he'd lived to today.
