re: Carolyn Bryant Donham, whose accusations led to murder of Emmett Till, dies at 88

The mob that is damning this woman to hell on sketchy evidence is eerily similar to the mob that egregiously rounded up and murdered Till.

The question is whether she participated in the 'rounding up' aspect. In the appendices of the FBI report, there was a newer source that was interviewed in 2001 or 2002 who was never interviewed initially. This source said they were part of they witnessed the torture of Till in a barn, which I believe was the same barn that Willie Reed saw Bryant and Milam go into. That source stated that there was also a woman in attendance, but didn't specify who exactly that woman was.

There's far more evidence of Donham's direct involvement than there is evidence that supports Donham's original assertion that Till behaved inappropriately with her.
