Yes, she seems so distraught about Till's death. When the “not guilty” verdict came on Sept. 23, 1955, “we breathed a collective sigh of relief and joy,” Donham said.
Wow what a bombshell. Wife in the 1950s says she is happy her husband didn’t go to jail.
The poster above was correct when he said people are applying modern logic to the past
She as a woman barely had higher standing than black men did. If she would have stood up as a virtue for justice like y’all are proposing, she would have likely saw the same fate as Till from her husband and crew
That line isn't from 1955, that is from her memoir she wrote decades later in. This isn't her telling some reporter how happy she was that husband was free after the trial. That was her inner thoughts that she was happy that her husband did not go to jail knowing that without a doubt, her husband murdered a 14 y/o boy.

No way you really believe this
Riddle me this, you think if she would have taken a public stand against her husband, the raging Neanderthal lunatic that tortured and brutally murdered a boy, he would have let her be?

And who do they mention actually let the husband know anything took place at all? And how much later was that?
How does that override the fact that she was seemingly with Bryant and Milam when they found Till, after she had told them the two other black kids that Bryant picked up were not Till? She states that she was initially afraid that her husband would beat up Till, and then she helped him do that? You should really read that report, because the person who Bryant-Donham testified was staying at the store taking care of the kids, Juanita Milam, later stated that she wasn't there as she 'thought she was in Greenville' and that she 'would not have been babysittin for her,' as Bryant-Donham alleged.
You are taking her testimony at face value for some reason.

I wonder how she lived all those years knowing her telling her husband about that supposed interaction with that black kid led to his brutal murder.
Did he whistle at her and make "sexual advances" toward her, and if so, just how forceful were these so-called advances to warrant a death sentence?
That's a lot of years, 68 to be exact, that she lived longer than that boy.
Till's mother made sure there was an open coffin funeral so folks could see what they did to her son. I've seen the pictures of that kid in the coffin. He was not recognizable he was beaten so badly.

That's actually referenced by Juanita Milam in the FBI report. Milam said that the reason Bryant-Donham might have made up the story was to 'make Roy take care of the store instead of leavin' her with the kids and the store.'

Hopefully she's burning in Hell right now.

If she lied, she is pure evil. If she was in fact accosted in some way, she can’t really be faulted for telling her husband. I don’t know what happened. I doubt anyone posting here does either.
Her whole family sounds evil, if they killed a child for whistling.

And as far as who identified till that’s also in question. Multiple reports say Donham refused to identify Till and said “it wasn’t him” when till was brought to her. Some reports say she did identify till while in the vehicle to her husband. It’s a shite ton of he said she said there
The east facts of this case are the husband and jurors are abhorrent vile humans. Donhams place in this entire ordeal is not settled in any type of fact
Posted on 4/27/23 at 6:08 pm to John88
My only hope in all of this is that that vile, hateful piece of shite suffered some in her worthless life and hopefully more in an excruciatingly painful death.
Good riddance.
Good riddance.

How the frick do you grow up in the south and not know who Emmett Till was?

I didn’t know who Till or Wallen were until this week

You should read the report before opening your mouth, otherwise you would see some of her words, such as 'that's not the n******, that's not the one!' after which point Bryant and his accomplices threw the random black kid (not Till) they picked up off the street out of the back of the truck, breaking his front two teeth.

Apparently, you believe her testimony full-throated. As in that story where she hesitated to tell her husband is straight from her testimony. Her word is holy to you, and not the others who were there. Be discerning for once.

Oh wow. Big nuance here. So much nuance.

yes, that’s one persons account. You know what else is in the report? This account quote:
In that original statement, Donham — then Carolyn Bryant — said when her husband, Roy Bryant, brought Till to her, he “was scared but hadn’t been harmed. He didn’t say anything. Roy asked if that was the same one, and I told him it was not the one who had insulted me.”

As I said before, there is no settled fact at all on Donhams role in the ordeal. There are conflicting statements form all involved, including friends of Till

Uh, I believe that is from Appendix A from the testimony of Bryant-Donham herself, but I'll check again.

Why are you elevating her words in particular? Don't you know how to go through a source?

One identification of Till? You dipshit, Bryant-Donham was involved in three separate identification events, each involving a black kid. And yet you seem to take her initial statement as some holy word, where she couldn't possibly be bending the truth either.
