What is the status of the Emmett Till trial and where can I find out more?

Question

The boy that was tortured and killed at the age of 14-years-old, for whistling at a white woman in Mississippi.

Hi there - I got an answer saying that this has been closed. It hasn't. I believe that they were trying to reopen the case as recently as 2004. They feel that the living that should be condemned for this horrific crime. A similar thing happened with the civil rights workers that were killed. One f their killers was just accused and sentenced to life about a year or two ago. I've looked everywhere on information on the Emmett Till case and can't find anything. By the way, an awesome dvd is out - it's the one that they promote on the websites, called, "The Untold Story of Emmett Till". I think that I will view it again and see if there's anything on the dvd that gives you information on where you can go to get more information. If anybody knows anything in th meantime, feel free to e-mal me.
Thanks so much!
Sheryl

Answer 1

This happened in 1955 so I'd say case closed. The two white men aquitted of the murder later admitted their crime. Both men have since died. Good.
