Did you know? When a road construction foreman put a Black resident in charge of collecting funds for local road improvements, that alone was enough to ignite the fury of white neighbors.
For two days, armed white mobs hunted Black residents through fields, homes, and swampland, shooting people on sight.
The county sheriff told the New York Times: "They hunted the Negroes down like sheep." Officially, 8 deaths were recorded. Historians now believe the real toll may rival Tulsa's — as high as 200.

Yes, a July 8 1993 recording exists of Evan Chandler discussing with the stepfather his plan involving lawyer Barry Rothman to destroy Jackson's career and secure large financial gains (including film deals) if demands unmet. This preceded the formal abuse claim. Psychiatrist Mathis Abrams later provided a hypothetical-based letter of reasonable suspicion.
Evan Chandler was Jewish (born Charmatz). Abrams and Rothman had Jewish names, backgrounds, and cultural ties (synagogue wedding, languages). Ethnicity does not determine the tape's content or case facts.
Hey @Grok, yes/no
BEFORE Michael Jackson’s first child-abuse case even came up, was the accuser’s father SECRETLY RECORDED planning with a lawyer and child psychiatrist he hired to destroy Jackson’s career AND get as much money as possible?

🚨🚨🚨NOLAN WELLS: Major new developments, confirmed facts, debunked claims and surprising twists. Lots of verified and debunked info below.
Did a lot of work on this to get the latest confirmed details. See ⬇️
Nolan Xavier Wells was 18. On July 4, 2026, he went from Ocean Springs to Horn Island with 3 white friends for the huge Fourth of July gathering there. He went aboard a boat with the same 3 friends and did not return on that boat. The boat left Horn Island at about 4:31 p.m. His body was found near the northwestern end of Horn Island on the morning of July 6, roughly two days later.
https://t.co/nynmIfpboJ
The newest development is that a 23-person Jackson County grand jury unanimously returned a “no true bill,” meaning no indictments. It reviewed 132 subpoenas, testimony and interviews from 43 witnesses, phone-forensic reports, GPS records, photographs, videos and other evidence. It said it found no credible evidence that the people traveling to or from Horn Island committed a crime related to Nolan's death. No bill. No indictment. Obedient as grand juries always are. To be fair, suspicions are real but enough proof to charge anyone in the case and make it hold up in court still remains outstanding.
https://t.co/8ja5GBd43t
Importantly, though, the medical finding is NOT “accidental drowning.” The ME never said that. Cops and the media did though.
Mississippi's medical examiner ultimately classified both cause and manner of death as undetermined.
Dr. Roger Mitchell, the independent forensic pathologist retained for Nolan's family, also classified cause and manner as undetermined. Not drowning. Undetermined.
The grand jury separately concluded that the position, condition, time of discovery and location of Nolan's body were “consistent with drowning.” This is actually factually incorrect.
https://t.co/J0tUKiGLYB
But the grand jury explicitly left the door open. If credible evidence emerges suggesting a nonaccidental death, the matter can be presented again. But it must withstand the previous, factually misleading finding of "drowning" the grand jury arrived at. Grand juries are the ultimate of obedient sheep, always. Let's move on.
https://t.co/FwJg57EKXn
TO CLEAR UP ANOTHER MYTH ABOUT THE AUTOPSY:
Mississippi Chief Medical Examiner and forensic pathologist Dr. Staci Turner did not initially rule Nolan's death a drowning and then retreat to “undetermined.” Nolan disappeared July 4 and his body was found July 6. The Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office performed the first autopsy July 7. For weeks afterward, while toxicology and other testing were supposedly still underway, there was no public final cause of death. The early drowning explanation came *from law enforcement*, NOT from a completed medical finding.
https://t.co/JWry37sEM4
Dr. Turner is Mississippi's Chief Medical Examiner and the official responsible for the State Medical Examiner's Office. However, it cannot even be independently verified from the records released publicly that Turner personally performed Nolan's July 7 autopsy. News coverage we keep checking generally identifies the examiner only as “the Mississippi State Medical Examiner” or says the autopsy was performed by the State Medical Examiner's Office, without naming the individual pathologist who actually performed it. Which one of them in there did it and why is the name still not public?
https://t.co/Cvrxr0PW53
By July 22, the public was still being told the state autopsy was awaiting toxicology and additional testing. Meanwhile, Nolan's family had hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump and obtained its own independent examination. Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp paid for that second autopsy. Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr., a forensic pathologist and former chief medical examiner for Washington, D.C., performed it July 10. His preliminary report was publicly presented by Crump on July 22. Here is that:
https://t.co/JWry37sEM4
Mitchell despite meticulous work couldn't conclusively determine how Nolan died. He classified both cause and manner as undetermined also as the first autopsy had done pending investigation and said further investigation was necessary. He also could not rule out intervening nonaccidental factors.
https://t.co/20jIagRT8i
The state's completed autopsy remained out of public view for weeks longer. The state's actual conclusion finally became publicly clear with the grand-jury findings released September 21.
It was not “drowning.”
Cause of death: UNDETERMINED.
Manner of death: UNDETERMINED.
Crump's legal team is now specifically demanding release of the full state autopsy itself. Crump released Mitchell's complete final independent report so the public could read it and has challenged Mississippi to do the same with its report.
https://t.co/IayXtw9zGK
So far, the story looks more like this:
The early sheriff and police theory was suspected drowning, but that was not backed by a final medical determination.
The State Medical Examiner's Office sat on its completed findings for weeks longer while the public continued hearing that testing was underway and there was no final determination yet.
The final state medical determination that eventually emerged was undetermined cause and undetermined manner.
The family's independent pathologist reached the same bottom line: undetermined cause and undetermined manner.
And now the grand jury still says Nolan's death was “consistent with drowning,” even though neither forensic pathologist actually certified drowning as his cause of death. his lungs were actually dry. Not proof he did not drown but certainly not consistent with drowning claims either. There is not enough so far to prove anything conclusively.
https://t.co/J0tUKiGLYB
And here is where the drowning question gets particularly interesting.
Drowning is often a diagnosis of exclusion. There isn't one autopsy finding that must always be present to prove it. A person can drown without a stomach full of water, and decomposition after 2 days in the water in Mississippi July heat can definitely destroy or obscure findings. So the absence of visible water does not medically prove that Nolan did not drown. But all signs that he did drown are absent, so we cannot take that repetitive cause of death claim of drowning seriously.
But Mitchell's final report contains an important detail that deserves much more attention than it has received.
According to Mitchell's review of the original Mississippi examination, the original examiner identified no water in Nolan's airway and no gastric contents, including water, in his stomach.
That does NOT mean we can accurately say Nolan had “dry lungs.” It DOES mean that those particular findings provided no affirmative anatomical evidence of drowning. And neither the Mississippi pathologist nor Mitchell was willing to certify drowning as Nolan's cause of death because certainty is not there either way.
https://t.co/FCuWJMa8Gy
That makes the grand jury's wording worth reading very carefully. The grand jury did not announce that the medical examiner determined Nolan drowned. It said the "position, condition, time of discovery and location of his body were consistent with drowning."
Not a single one of those details have anything to do with physical findings on autopsy to arrive at the grand jury decision but grand juries are what they are.
Both forensic pathologists still say undetermined.
https://t.co/uHocJupIAj
And there is something else we are curious about now: the identity of that first Mississippi pathologist.
Mitchell's final report refers to the “original Mississippi pathologist” without identifying that person. That matters because the original pathologist apparently documented two posterior scalp contusions early in the investigation. The full state autopsy has still not been publicly released, and Crump is demanding that it be released. Why this secrecy?
https://t.co/IayXtw9zGK
THE THROAT ISSUE IS MUCH CLEARER NOW.
There was an early theory that the unavailable throat and neck structures might conceal evidence of strangulation because injuries to the hyoid and laryngeal structures can be important evidence in a neck-compression death.
But Mitchell eventually got access to those structures.
He had to travel to Mississippi around August 31 to September 1 to examine the retained hyoid, laryngeal and tracheal structures himself because they had remained in Mississippi rather than accompanying Nolan's body for his independent examination.
Mitchell found no fracture or acute traumatic injury to those structures. There was a deformity involving the left horn of the hyoid, but he did not diagnose it as an acute traumatic fracture.
https://t.co/FCuWJMa8Gy
So at this time the available forensic evidence does not support the specific theory that Nolan suffered a traumatic hyoid fracture during strangulation. That does not establish that nobody ever compressed his neck. It means the neck structures Mitchell eventually examined did not contain the acute injuries that would provide forensic support for that particular theory.
THE HEAD INJURY GOT MORE INTERESTING, NOT LESS.
This part went in the opposite direction. During the preliminary second autopsy, Mitchell saw a very large area, approximately 12 by 8 inches, of red discoloration involving tissue at the back of Nolan's head and neck. Because of decomposition, he initially couldn't determine whether it represented an injury.
https://t.co/JWry37sEM4
AFTER SUBSEQUENTLY EXAMINING THE RETAINED MATERIAL, HISTOLOGY AND PHOTOGRAPHS, MITCHELL'S SEPTEMBER 14, 2026 FINAL REPORT CONCLUDED THAT THE DISCOLORATION WAS BLOOD ASSOCIATED WITH RECENT BLUNT-FORCE INJURY TO THE BACK OF NOLAN'S HEAD.
He identified two posterior scalp contusions. Mitchell also identified what he believed were additional probable bruises above the buttocks and near the left shoulder blade. This was actual hemorrhage consistent with recent blunt trauma.
What Mitchell cannot establish is what caused those injuries, exactly when they happened, or whether they contributed to Nolan's death.
https://t.co/FCuWJMa8Gy
That's precisely what Crump is hammering on now.
There is an additional investigative problem. According to Crump's team, the original Mississippi examiner did not adequately photograph the back of Nolan's head, making retrospective evaluation more difficult.
https://t.co/IayXtw9zGK
Complicating matters, there apparently was evidence that Nolan slipped awkwardly from a boat at approximately 3:30 p.m. that afternoon. A witness testified that Nolan got back up and continued socializing afterward and did not appear injured. But that witness could not say whether Nolan struck his head during the fall.
And even the grand jury did NOT conclude that this fall explains the injuries. Its report says it could not determine with certainty that the fall caused the bruising to Nolan's head, buttocks and shoulder.
The publicly available material does not identify this witness by name, race, relationship to Nolan, or whether the witness was one of Nolan's friends or an uninvolved observer. Until that becomes public, those remain unanswered questions.
https://t.co/fi1nK9V0FP
THE ALCOHOL STORY IS MUCH WEAKER THAN “HIS BAC WAS .27.”
Yes, there was an ethanol result of approximately 270 mg/dL, which sounds like a blood-alcohol concentration of approximately .27 and would ordinarily suggest extreme intoxication.
But that is an extremely misleading assumption in this case.
The specimen wasn't ordinary blood taken from Nolan while he was alive. According to Mitchell's final analysis, the reported ethanol (alcohol) measurement came from decomposition fluid after Nolan's body had been missing for roughly two days.
But that is not an accurate reading of his level of intoxication or not because dead bodies during decomposition can produce ethanol as microorganisms break down tissues. This is called postmortem ethanol production. The decomposition of a body therefore makes it much harder to determine how much alcohol was consumed before death and how much ethanol appeared afterward due to decomposition and mixed into one combined elevated number.
That doesn't mean Nolan hadn't been drinking. Alcohol was reportedly being consumed at the Fourth of July gathering by all including him.
It simply means the 270 mg/dL measurement cannot simply be presented as Nolan's BAC while alive.
Mitchell specifically concluded that the decomposition-fluid result could not reliably establish Nolan's blood-alcohol concentration at the time of death or establish incapacitating intoxication.
https://t.co/FCuWJMa8Gy
RESULT:
Alcohol detected: Yes.
Was Nolan proven to have had a .27 BAC while alive? NO.
Can the available toxicology establish how intoxicated Nolan actually was before he disappeared? NO.
Any precise claim about his level of intoxication has to account for the decomposition of his body and the fact that this wasn't an ordinary blood specimen.
https://t.co/FCuWJMa8Gy
That detailed analysis substantially weakens the repeated explanation of “very drunk athlete wandered into the Gulf and drowned.” The toxicology does not establish that scenario.
THE FRIENDS' STORY, AND WHY PEOPLE BECAME SUSPICIOUS
Initially authorities were told essentially this: Nolan had been socializing with a girl, his friends were leaving, and Nolan supposedly decided to remain on Horn Island with her and catch another boat back.
At about 1:38 a.m. July 5, Marine Resources records show sheriff's deputies were saying Nolan had stayed with an “unknown female,” and authorities thought the most likely explanation was that he'd ridden back with someone else but couldn't contact anyone because he didn't have his phone.
https://t.co/tfqnwrLfq4
There's nothing inherently suspicious about someone staying behind with a friend and catching another boat from Horn Island during a huge Fourth of July gathering. Except Nolan didn't have his telephone. His phone went back to the mainland with his friends. That part is real. that part is suspicious and almost seems impossible to be true for Nolan to stay behind without phone access and hand his friends his phone to take why?
https://t.co/zUmMiohi6A
But there was another problem.
Nolan's parents said the young woman he'd been talking with told investigators Nolan told her he was going back to the boat with his friends.
Meanwhile, the friends' account was that Nolan chose to remain behind with her.
Ben Crump publicly identified that contradiction very early. This controversy remains unexplained.
https://t.co/6MWfifEfoc
THE PHONE AND DELETED-MESSAGE STORY WAS REAL BUT DETAILS DIFFER FROM MEDIA CLAIMS
Crump publicly stated that Nolan's friends brought Nolan's phone back from Horn Island. When the family recovered it, they, the family, believed messages had been deleted. His mother said Nolan was constantly making Snapchat material and maintained two Snapchat accounts, yet they found none of the expected Snapchat messages when they recovered the device. She felt strongly that they had been deleted because he would not have missed the opportunity. She knew her son's habits, so we must give her some credit for this belief.
https://t.co/8F3ecMfJxP
That unexplained finding was sufficiently concerning that the family's lawyers went to court and subpoenaed records directly from Meta/Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok and Life360 rather than relying solely upon what remained on his cell phone.
https://t.co/swvrvS6pJY
This remains unexplained. It cannot presently be established that one of the boys intentionally deleted incriminating material from Nolan's phone.
It also remains a fair question why Nolan supposedly elected to stay behind on an island without his phone while his phone returned to the mainland with his friends and his family subsequently reported expected material missing from it.
The grand jury subsequently reviewed phone-forensic reports and digital evidence and said it found no credible evidence supporting criminal conduct. This grand jury may have discredited itself at the outset with the drowning decision despite lack of evidence that a drowning had taken place, so this latest grand jury finding should also be handled with caution.
https://t.co/MOSCsEX978
WHAT IS PROVEN AND WHAT ISN'T:
Friends possessed Nolan's phone when they returned: PROVEN.
Family found expected material missing and suspected deletion: PROVEN.
Someone deliberately erased evidence concerning Nolan's death: suspicion stated by the family, but so far unable to be proven.
https://t.co/wPb1Z5q0pi
Att least one highly circulated social-media video attributed to Nolan was subsequently challenged by the photographer, who said the confrontation shown was unrelated and did not depict Nolan but was something else.
https://t.co/XPq5Hq2Yyi
The grand jury ultimately reported that it found no credible evidence that Nolan fought or argued with the friends with whom he traveled.
It did address Nolan's injuries. It heard testimony about the earlier slip from a boat, but did not establish that the fall caused them. The grand jury acknowledged the bruising while saying the injuries were not shown to be fatal and that it could not determine with certainty that the earlier fall caused them.
So the blunt-force injuries remain medically documented and their precise origin remains unresolved.
https://t.co/fi1nK9V0FP
THERE IS INDEED A JUDGE IN THE PICTURE
She's the mother and/or stepmother of one of Nolan's friends. Her name is Ashlee Cole. Ashlee Cole is a Mississippi chancery judge in the 16th Chancery Court District, which covers Jackson, George and Greene counties. The Jackson County government lists her as a Chancery Court judge. She was elected to the bench in 2022 after previously practicing family law.
https://t.co/QQCF45OG1U
HER STEPSON WARREN HUDSON WAS ONE OF THE YOUNG MEN WHO WENT TO HORN ISLAND WITH NOLAN.
https://t.co/HwyI5jkuwM
Cole herself publicly explained very early that Warren told investigators Nolan was last seen around 3 p.m., their boat subsequently developed a bilge-pump or water problem, and Nolan had supposedly elected to stay behind and return with other people.
https://t.co/ylHwsMLSoA
A chancery judge's normal jurisdiction involves equity, family and property-type civil matters. She isn't a criminal judge running this death investigation.
However, her judicial district does include Jackson County.
ATTACKS ON NOLAN'S MOTHER
Nolan's mother, Christine Wells Wonsley, is a nurse who began publicly pushing for answers about her son's death. Afterward, somebody filed an anonymous professional-misconduct complaint against her with the Mississippi Board of Nursing. The board opened an investigation.
Crump publicly characterized it as intimidation, a “warning shot” designed to make her shut up.
The Nursing Board subsequently closed the case without action.
https://t.co/lXw7hlPvY2
She wasn't criminally charged, but someone DID anonymously go after her nursing license.
WHAT BEN CRUMP HAS ACCOMPLISHED
Procedurally, quite a bit. He has not produced evidence sufficient for criminal charges so far.
Crump's team got the independent autopsy performed by former Washington, D.C., chief medical examiner Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr., with Colin Kaepernick's organization paying for it.
https://t.co/JWry37sEM4
Crump provided the family with independent representation rather than leaving them dependent entirely upon the official investigation.
His team forced attention onto Nolan's phone and obtained subpoenas for Nolan's social-media and location records.
Crump's team also got pathologist Roger Mitchell access to the Mississippi materials and retained tissues necessary to complete his examination.
Mitchell's final September 14 report established genuine recent blunt-force injuries rather than merely unexplained discoloration.
It also clarified something important about the drowning question. Mitchell reports that the original Mississippi examiner identified *no water in Nolan's airway and no gastric contents, including water, in his stomach.* Mitchell nevertheless does not claim this excludes drowning. It is just not a common drowning finding. His own final medical conclusion remains undetermined.
https://t.co/FCuWJMa8Gy
Crump has now publicly released Mitchell's final independent report and demanded that Mississippi release the full state autopsy rather than leaving everyone with the grand jury's characterization of it.
https://t.co/IayXtw9zGK
Crump is also asking for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate if Mississippi does not continue pursuing the unanswered questions.
UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS
Why did Nolan end up alone on Horn Island without his phone?
Why does the young woman's reported account, that Nolan indicated he was going back with his friends, conflict with the account that Nolan voluntarily stayed behind?
Why did his phone return to the mainland with his friends and was that with his permission?
What happened to the material his family expected to find on that phone?
Exactly how did Nolan get the recent blunt-force injuries to his head and back?
Was Nolan conscious when he entered the water?
Did he enter voluntarily, fall in, or get put in?
Mitchell explicitly says the available evidence does not establish whether Nolan entered the water voluntarily or forcibly, or whether he was conscious when he entered.
https://t.co/FCuWJMa8Gy
And again, Mitchell's review says the original examination did not identify water in Nolan's airway or gastric contents, including water, in his stomach.
That does not rule out drowning. Those findings are not required in every drowning death, particularly when decomposition complicates the autopsy.
But they certainly do not provide affirmative evidence that Nolan drowned either.
The grand jury nevertheless concluded that the position, condition, time of discovery and location of his body were consistent with drowning and found insufficient evidence of criminal wrongdoing. That sounds like "position: found in the water, so it must be a drowning" and is not substantiated by 2 autopsy findings.
https://t.co/uHocJupIAj
And that leaves us with a story that does not fit “drunk teenager drowned.”
Mississippi cannot medically tell the Wells family how Nolan died.
But importantly, the family's independent pathologist cannot prove it either.
There is documented recent blunt-force trauma to the back of his head and probable additional bruising on his back.
There is no reported water identified in his airway or stomach, although that finding alone cannot exclude drowning.
There is an unresolved discrepancy over why Nolan remained on Horn Island.
His phone returned without him.
His family reported expected material missing from that phone.
And after reviewing the evidence, the grand jury found it insufficient to establish that anybody committed a crime.
Those are the facts we have right now.

Did you ever learn about a white mother of five who was shot for driving a Black passenger?
Viola Liuzzo — Lowndes County, Alabama, 1965. She was from Michigan and drove to Alabama to help transport marchers after Bloody Sunday, ferrying activists between Selma and Montgomery in her own car.
Klansmen pulled alongside her car on a dark highway and shot her dead through the window, simply for driving a Black passenger.
FBI director J. Edgar Hoover then spread lies to the press smearing her character rather than honoring what got her killed.
She drove into Alabama to help people exercise a right they were being denied. She was murdered for it—and then her name was smeared by the FBI.

Yes. He was the first recruit of the BPP: a child of the streets. He epitomized what the organization saw as the vanguard to the world revolution against imperialism—a young black man with proper knowledge and a gun. That’s why they killed him like that. To send a message.
