In 2016, she admitted she admitted that the she exaggerated the touching and the profane language, presumably to help the defendants escape justice. Her family later denied this, but of course they have reason to lie with people still interested in charging her all these years later.
Louis Till was executed when Emmitt was 4 years old and spent most of his son's life overseas. Whatever he did is completely irrelevant in any case unless you think rape runs in the blood.
In the interest of "context" it's worth pointing out Carolyn later divorced Roy on account of his “habitual cruel and inhuman treatment of her and of habitual drunkenness," which he did not dispute in court. That sounds to me like the type of guy who would coerce his wife to exaggerate in court to save his ass after he did something murderously stupid.

Just take the L and move on. This entire incident was an absolute disgrace to the South.
Posted above is the story exposing the author of the book who claimed that Mrs. Bryant recanted her story. His tape recording conveniently wasn’t on when she made the alleged recantation. This is the type of crap we need to fight back on. Emmitt Till assaulted this woman. He grabbed her wrist, to which she had to fight to get him to release his hand. He then followed her in family’s store and grabbed her arm again, put both hands around her waist and said “I’ve f-ed white women before.” Again, nobody thinks that this criminal behavior deserved a death sentence by private actors. (BTW, in the 1950s South, this behavior with a married woman would have resulted in an ass-kicking regardless of whether the guy was black or white). However, my point is that leftists lie about every one of these incidents. Till didn’t just “whistle” at a white woman. He was trying to sexually assault a white woman. Big difference.
