Chris CoragioHOST
Nolan Wells' family is calling on the federal government to investigate his death off Mississippi's Horn Island.
Chris CoragioHOST
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump and Wells' parents held a news conference on Monday saying they still have unanswered questions after a Jackson County grand jury declined to bring criminal charges.
Chris CoragioHOST
Wells' body was found in the water on July 6th, and both state and independent autopsies listed his cause and manner of death as undetermined.
Chris CoragioHOST
New data is shedding light on what might be America's favorite convenience store.
Clay EdwardsHOST
And then the fifth one is Isaiah Kelvin Harris, uh, AKA The Isaiah Harris.
Clay EdwardsHOST
Uh, Ed Podziuk, uh, says, "Tonight, on behalf of completely innocent young men, Warren Hudson, Jax Petullo, and Morgan Seymour, we have filed five additional lawsuits in county court, Jackson County, Mississippi." I just told you the names, and he goes on to say, "As these suits unquestionably demonstrate, we will identify, pursue, and punish TikTokers, YouTubers, and other content creators who spread their libelous and slanderous poison far and wide online.
Clay EdwardsHOST
Wherever they may live, and we know where they live, these cowards are nothing more than keyboard warriors with big mouths and small brains.
Clay EdwardsHOST
They've done a lot of damage, but now it's their turn to feel the heat." To my friend, Jay Tyler Cox, in Mississippi, a shout-out to Tyler Cox.

Jesse WeberSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He was washed ashore near Horn Island, about eight to 10 miles off the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
Jesse WeberSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And now the Jackson County District Attorney's office has said there was no evidence of a crime.
Jesse WeberSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Grand jury didn't find any evidence of a crime.
Jesse WeberSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But what happened to Nolan's phone? That is what has raised some new questions, because first, to put it into perspective, I wanna play for you what Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers McArath said in a recorded statement about Nolan's phone, about this key piece of evidence after the grand jury's report, after the grand jury came forward and said, "No evidence of a crime."
Rick VorHOST
Here again, another narrative allowed to flourish when my hands were tied in responding.
Rick VorHOST
The Crump team knew better, but allowed the public to believe, among other false narratives, that our medical examiner withheld Nolan's lungs and stomach when his body was released, that things had been deleted off of Nolan's phone before it was given back to his family, that I refused to cooperate with the examination of Nolan's cellphone, that I refused to provide Nolan's autopsy results to the family.
Omar MooreHOST
This is the white logic, dear listener, that I keep telling you about.
Omar MooreHOST
Whether it is the white logic of the DA in Jackson County, Mississippi, Angel McElrath, whether it is the white logic of any of these other cases.
Omar MooreHOST
And the white logic exists where there are white people being affected too.
Omar MooreHOST
I told you about Krista Pike.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Nolan Wells' death sparked widespread anger and speculation, drawing renewed attention to Mississippi's long history of racial violence.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Jackson County's district attorney has rejected claims that race played a role, saying, quote, "There is not a shred of evidence to support these narratives."
Vince Everett EllisonHOST
You can indict a ham sandwich, okay? If you had one person that said, "I saw this," you can indict.
Vince Everett EllisonHOST
If you had one text message, if you had one grain of evidence.
Angel McElrathSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
the family the crump team and anyone close to nolan knew that his disappearance and death were not the result of racial hate or violence yet the flames of that narrative set against the backdrop of mississippi's terrible history were fanned by both people who knew the truth and those who didn't
Joy ReidHOST
there's a lot wrong with that statement and that was just the first part of the statement what's not said In this statement is the state of Mississippi and Jackson County offers its deepest condolences to Nolan Wells' family.
Joy ReidHOST
That wasn't said.
Joy ReidHOST
What was said is that Nolan Wells' death has harmed the community.
Joy ReidHOST
You are formerly the crime investigative reporter for the Clarion Ledger, so you're not there now.
Joy ReidHOST
You're at Mississippi Today.
Joy ReidHOST
So can you kind of give me a sense of how should I understand Angel McElrath or McElrath? Because it definitely feels to me like as DA in Jackson County, she cares primarily about restoring the image or preserving the image of the new Mississippi is not racist.
Joy ReidHOST
That seems like what she cared about most.

Vince Everett EllisonHOST
The people down in Mississippi, in the small town they live in, in Jackson County, have said, "Man, we're not getting involved in this." So they gotta shut people down now.

I call them Cop to Captain Hot Man, Hot, Hot Coleman, Mr. Watermelon, because, you know, I believe if you mock the devil and make fun of him, he'll flee.

But make no mistake, these are dangerous times.
Vince Everett EllisonHOST
And I wanna ask the people down in Jackson County, Mississippi to hold your peace.
Vince Everett EllisonHOST
They want you to be violent.
Haley PoppGUEST
it.
Haley PoppGUEST
Look up, look up all of the black people that have died in it's Jackson County, Mississippi.
Haley PoppGUEST
I think, I think there's five or six black people that have literally been found hanging from trees and they're saying that it was suicide.
Chad ColchinHOST
Or like the Nolan Wells case is another good example.
KempireHOST
So I showed our friends over at the Sun-Herald.
KempireHOST
They said a Jackson County grand jury found no criminal wrongdoing in the July 4th death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells on Horn Island.
KempireHOST
But the ruling has only intensified a public fight over what happened.
KempireHOST
Attorneys for Wells' family, civil rights leaders, and district attorneys spent the week trading pointed statements over autopsies, deleted phone data, and what the investigation did and didn't resolve.
KempireHOST
Some of the key takeaways in regards to what played out last week, a Jackson County grand jury found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in Wells' death, and the Mississippi State Examiner Medical's Office ruled his cause and manner of death undetermined.
KempireHOST
though neither state nor independent pathologists could rule out drowning.
KempireHOST
