Nolan Wells' Family Plans Release of Cellphone Report Amid Calls for Further Investigation
Crump will present digital findings from a joint review of Wells’ phone as his team presses for more records in the undetermined death investigation.
- On Thursday, civil rights attorney Ben Crump will livestream a forensic examination of Nolan Wells' cellphone, following a Mississippi grand jury's decision last week not to recommend charges in the teen's death.
- The grand jury report released Monday ruled Wells' death 'consistent with drowning,' a diagnosis of exclusion, while explicitly clearing the friends who left Horn Island without him during the July 4 boat trip.
- Wells' parents and their legal team disputed the findings, noting both official and independent autopsies conducted by Dr. Roger A. Mitchell found the cause of death undetermined while identifying unexplained blunt force trauma to his head.
- At a press conference on Tuesday in Stonecrest, Georgia, Crump and the family urged Jackson County District Attorney Angel McIlrath to keep the investigation open and active, requesting release of the investigative file.
- This high-profile death of a Black college student in Mississippi has sparked rampant speculation, prompting the Congressional Black Caucus to call for an independent federal review of the case on August 12.
