Was Carolyn Bryant ever charged of false accusation?

Carolyn Bryant did not face any charges as the authorities stated that they “didn’t want to bother” her because she had two children to take care of.

A Leflore County in Mississippi grand jury rejected to indict Carolyn because they claimed there was “insufficient evidence to indict her on charges of kidnapping and manslaughter.”

“After hearing every aspect of the investigation and evidence collected regarding Carolyn Bryant’s involvement, the Grand Jury returned a ‘No Bill’ to the charges of both Kidnapping and Manslaughter,” the statement read.

Malik Shabazz who is with the Black Lawyers for Justice shared after Carolyn’s death that, it is very painful that she never faced real justice for her crime.

“Carolyn Bryant’s death brings a conclusion to a painful chapter for the Emmett Till family and for Black people in America. The tragic part about Bryant’s death was that she was never held accountable for her role in the death of young Emmett Till, who is the martyr for the Civil Rights Movement,” he said.

Emmett Till who was just 14 years old, was dragged by Carolyn’s husband, Roy Bryant, and his brother JW Milam and killed brutally. His body was deformed beyond recognition.
