Grand jury declines to indict woman in Emmett Till killing

A grand jury in Mississippi declined to indict the White woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Black teenager Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago. Carolyn Bryant Donham, now 88, initially claimed that Till made unwanted advances toward her, prompting her husband and brother-in-law to abduct, torture and lynch the 14-year-old.
