Jackson Jambalaya

They carefully worded that to intentionally lie. Absolutely no one accessed that phone after Nolan did at 2:18PM. That is not disputed. HOWEVER, his phone continued to access SnapChat and OTHER SnapChat users deleted and edited their messages. Nothing burger, but not in the hands of a grifter!

Keep the grift going! I wish we could find out what his cut is of the hundreds of thousands of dollars collected on Go Fund Me or similar websites

There are two camps at this point. One believes he was murdered. The other is accepting there are no facts proving such. The first camp will never change their mind no matter what. The second camp would actually change their mind if there was actual proof. Crump has no facts.

If this was his first public statement about the case, and we all forget the last 2 1/2 months, then this speech might not come across as complete bullshit.

Didn't they tell the DA nothing was deleted?

I watched the presser via WLBT. Crump has NOTHING. Nada. Zilch.

He should be disbarred.

Chump is trying hard to prime that GoFundMe more. He could find real murder cases here in Jackson, but again, they don't pay or match his business model.

Definitely. Who knows what the truth behind that hired guy's report is.

The national coverage has stopped giving him airtime. It's a closed case. Let's address the killing that will THIS weekend!

well said 2:35 (the first one).

isn't the whole premise of "Snapchat" is that the messages do not last (they delete themselves after a period of time? Other than that, if Crump does not want people to focus on distractions, then he would shut up a leave b/c he is purposely distracting from the truth

A real shame. The leaders (docs,lawyers,preachers,pols) of that culture do not try to make livings in any reasonable manner. Frauds.

I have such high regard for lawyers, the bar association and the legal profession in general.

$750,000 has been raised through the GoFundMe page. Goal is now $850,000. The sky's the limit with these grifters.

An examination of Crump's phone would be very revealing.

When you choose not to work with law enforcement and refuse to hand over the phone for fear of corruption, you contaminate the evidence. Everyone is making claims against the other and the evidence was compromised. The family held the phone and no telling what type of shenanigans occurred. Both sides are distrustful. But the pain is still biggest for the family. Another sad but true race story for the books. History keeps repeating.

Even if a deleted message was recovered and it said, "Nolan, this is Elmer Fudd and when we get to Horn Island, I'm going to knock your ass out and drown you! And I'll get away with it because every person in Jackson County will lie their asses off to cover for me! Mommy and Daddy have bought off the grand jury, the DA, every investigator in the state, the pathologist, and anyone else that could provide evidence against me! BWAHAHAHAHA!," there is one glaring problem that stops it all in its tracks before it even gets going: Nolan Wells was not beaten nor even punched once, nor struck with any object even a single time, with any significant force, and certainly none to render him dazed, much less unconscious. Nor was he grabbed anywhere on his body, so he could not have been dragged into the water and held under.

According to the actual evidence, if anyone else was involved in Nolan's death and he drowned, that person or persons ordered him into the water and ordered him to stick his head underwater and keep it underwater until he drowned. And he fully complied. Even if he was suicidal and willing to attempt to comply with the order, his "fight or flight" response would have been nearly impossible to overcome unless he was suicidal in the extreme. And even then, it would have been an incredibly difficult thing to overcome. Impossible? No. The likelihood of it? Each will have to form their own opinions on that, but if you see it as actually likely, you may want to seek help.

7:32, Crump and the family's distrust has always been based on nothing but prejudice.

The DA's distrust is based on the facts of their behavior.

There is a big difference between the two.

The polluted source continues to spew forth.

Excellent analysis, 10:10, framed within excellent humor. Kudos to YOU!

Would these "deleted messages" be the ones that Chump removed?

He wasn’t murdered most likely. He died and alcohol was involved. Kids clammed up to not go to jail.

We've been hearing a lot about "racists." But I think the word we've been missing is "prejudice," as in "to pre-judge."

Crump and the Wonsleys are clearly prejudiced against Nolan's white friends, the white DA, the white corner, and white people in general.

They don't even try to hide their prejudice against white skin. Instead they try to justify it by citing vague "black lived experience," and the 70 year-old murder of Emmitt Till.

If you think the masses of white people band together to deprive you of fairness, then you are prejudiced against a group of people you know nothing about, as individuals.

1:22, Nolan's friends did not "clam up."

They were all interviewed on July 6. One even took a polygraph that morning.

The families with boats allowed the boats and GPS data to be inspected by the investigating authorities.

They all voluntarily provided their (unlocked) phones to the FBI in early August, which inspected all the data on those phones from July 4-6.

They were all subpoenaed to testify at the grand jury, and they did, in fact, testify before the grand jury.

Again, I ask: How can an attorney get away with refusing to provide physical evidence (in his possession) when that evidence is requested by law enforcement or court operatives and is believed to be germane to the case? Why was a subpoena not issued for the phone and somebody thrown in jail for ignoring it?
