Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump releases data from Nolan Wells’ cellphone

Messaging ‘very telling’, says Crump after grand jury said it found no evidence of criminal conduct in teen’s death

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump released information from a forensic examination of Nolan Wells’ cellphone as well as details of the official autopsy on Thursday, just days after a Mississippi grand jury said it found no evidence of criminal conduct in the teen’s death.

Attorneys representing the 18-year-old Black college student’s family have called for transparency, asking that the grand jury investigative materials and the official autopsy report be publicly released.
