BREAKING: Nolan Wells' Neck Bone Missing, Independent Autopsy Just Changed Everything

[00:00:00]He cannot determine why you have that red discoloration in the back of his brain. That's significant. He also talked about Mr. way out of there. Just the fact that as it's common practice, he was missing his throat when they received the body and he wants to know why they held it back.

[00:00:29]>> Now, let's get a few things straight, okay? Cuz y'all have some misinformation going out there. Nolan's neck was not missing when they found his body. The medical examiner removed the neck to examine it and then never returned it so the second coroner could look at it.

[00:00:49]Okay. Now, the second coroner admitted, "Oh, sometimes they do this for more."

[00:00:54]Yeah, MAYBE THAT WAS THE CASE. IF she wasn't implicated already in covering up three other black men's death in the past few years, maybe we could have given her that slide. But we know why she took the neck. Cuz the neck has the most critical piece of evidence to rule this a homicide. and she withheld that one piece on purpose. So, his neck wasn't missing when the body was found.

[00:01:15]This woman withheld the neck for whatever reason, but I think we know why, and didn't give it to the second autopsy person. That's what why the neck is missing. Okay.

[00:01:25]>> After this autopsy, I have to go back through this case carefully because a few things stop lining up the way they did before. Nolan could swim. That's not in dispute. his own parents, his coaches, everyone who knew him has said the same thing. So when investigators tell us he simply drowned at a crowded beach with hundreds of people around him, that's a real fair detail to sit with. It doesn't prove anything on its own. But it's a detail worth holding on to for what's coming. Here's the first thing that doesn't add up, and it starts before we even get to the phone. Nolan's friends say he chose to stay behind, that he wanted to keep talking to a girl he'd just met named Katie. But according to Katie's own account, relayed directly to Christine face to face, Nolan told her the opposite. He told her he was heading back to rejoin the boys, back to his own group's boat. Those two accounts cannot both be describing the same final conversation. Either the friend group has it wrong or Katie does. And as of tonight, nobody has explained which. One caveat worth carrying with you through the rest of this. Katie never actually witnessed Nolan get on that boat. What she's described is what he told her he intended to do, not something she watched happen. That's an important distinction, and I'm not going to drop it just because it's inconvenient for a clean hook. But it doesn't make the contradiction disappear. It just means the contradiction is between two accounts of Nolan's stated intention, not two eyewitness accounts of what actually happened next.

[00:03:08]Now, layer the phone problem on top of that contradiction. One of those same friends has said on the record that nobody in that group swims with their phone on them, that everyone leaves their phones on the boat protected from the salt water. Okay, then walk that logic all the way through. If Nolan told his own friends he was staying behind, not swimming, staying on the island, planning to catch a ride back later with someone else, why would his phone leave with the boat at all? That explanation covers why phones stay dry during a swim. It doesn't explain why a phone would leave the island with people who weren't coming back that day. And if Katie's account is the accurate one that he told her he was heading back to the boat, then the phone question flips into something even harder to explain. Why would a phone leave without the person who was by that account trying to get back to it? And there's a second detail worth revisiting here carefully because we've already corrected it once and I don't want to walk that correction back.

[00:04:18]Early in this case, a widely circulated video was said to capture Nolan's voice demanding his phone back. Attorney Ben Crump's team has since walked that specific claim back on the record. A second witness, Tracken Shepard, said the voice on that recording was his own from a separate altercation, and Crump's team acknowledged the original claim came from a single uncorroborated witness. I'm not resurrecting that clip as confirmed evidence tonight. I'm telling you it exists. It's disputed and audio experts are reportedly still working to determine whose voice is actually on it. That's where it stands.

[00:05:00]Not settled in either direction. Then there's how he was found. Fully clothed.

[00:05:07]Not in swim trunks pulled off by current. not stripped by water the way drowning victims sometimes are. Fully clothed. That's the kind of detail that on its face usually points towards someone in the process of leaving, not the process of swimming.

[00:05:25]>> As I recall, Todd Terrell Nolan was face down, still fully clothed on the beach. Is that correct?

[00:05:36]>> Yes, that is correct. He was face down.

[00:05:38]Now add what this new autopsy actually found. The neck, not damaged, missing.

[00:05:45]The structures that would tell a pathologist whether there was ever pressure or trauma to Nolan's throat simply weren't there for the independent examiner to look at. And separately, an area of red discoloration at the back of his head that nobody has explained. I want to know the same thing Dr. Mitchell wants to know. How often does that kind of discoloration actually show up in ordinary drowning cases? Is this common or is this rare enough that it should have raised a flag on day one? And I want the toxicology results treated as urgently as they deserve to be because right now in the vacuum where those results should be, people are already pushing their own narratives about what might have been in his system before a single lab has confirmed anything.

[00:06:34]None of this proves what happened to Nolan Wells. What it proves is that the first explanation this family was handed doesn't survive contact with its own details. This is a Nolan Wells update.

[00:06:48]File open. Nobody has been arrested.

[00:06:52]Nobody has been charged. No cause of death has been confirmed. Everything you're about to hear is sourced directly to the independent pathologist's own report and on record statements where something is a claim instead of a confirmed finding. I'll say so clearly the same way I have in every update on this case so far and the same way I will in every one that comes after this. If you're new here, drop the word file below. Real talk before we get into it.

[00:07:23]Most of you watching right now come back for every update on this case but haven't hit subscribe yet. I put real hours into separating what's confirmed from what's just noise so you don't have to. That stays free either way. Hit subscribe so the algorithm doesn't leave me stranded.

[00:07:42]>> It was just a big I I talked to Nolan and you know Nolan was drinking.

[00:07:47]Everybody was drinking. most of everybody and I mean no one seemed completely fine every time I talked to him. We had just regular conversations and you know no one was making me laugh.

[00:07:58]I had a couple couple conversations with Nolan and Javon. Uh Nolan and my buddy James Nolan and I mean I could tell you I mean I I talked to Nolan a couple times but it wasn't like I was strictly sitting there talking to Nolan the whole day. I mean there was hundreds of people I knew knew out there. So, >> if you're just catching up, Nolan Xavier Wells was 18 years old when he disappeared from Horn Island, Mississippi after a 4th of July boat trip with friends. His body was recovered 2 days later. In the weeks since, this case has moved through a state autopsy, a grand jury referral, a joint phone inspection agreement, an FBI statement addressing interstate threats, and a funeral that drew national attention. Nolan's family, represented by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, has consistently said one thing. They are not accusing any specific named person of a crime. What they've asked for over and over is a thorough, honest, transparent investigation. On July 19th, 2026, that search for transparency took its next major step. Forensic pathologist Dr. Roger Mitchell completed a second independent autopsy. And two days later at the Knox National Convention, the family, their legal team, and Knock leadership stood together to walk the public through what he found. The convention setting itself matters a little here. This wasn't a press conference called specifically for this case in isolation. It happened inside the Knox largest annual gathering in front of a room already full of civil rights leaders, delegates, and national media covering the broader convention, which is part of why the reach of this particular update has been as large as it has. That's what tonight's video is actually about. Not just what the report says on paper, but why the specific details in it line up uncomfortably with things that were already bothering people about this case before the autopsy ever came back.

[00:10:14]>> Dr. Roger Mitchell could not join us today, but we felt it important before we reveal and unfold this report that you understand who conducted this autopsy.

[00:10:30]Dr. Roger Mitchell is a physician and board certified forensic pathologist with two decades of experience.

[00:10:40]He currently serves as the president of the National Medical Association, which is the oldest and largest group of black physicians in the US.

[00:10:53][applause] Most recently, he also served as president of Howard University Hospital, chief medical officer of the Howard University faculty practice plan, and chair of the department of pathology.

[00:11:11]Before joining Howard, he served as chief medical examiner for Washington DC from 2014 to 2021 and later as interim deputy mayor for the public safety and justice.

[00:11:29]Dr. Mitchell has conducted and managed thousands of autopsies and is nationally recognized. Before we get into the forensic findings, I want to slow down on the logic problem from the hook because it's the thread that ties this entire update together and it deserves more than 30 seconds. The official account, as it's been told publicly from the very beginning, goes like this. The group's boat started taking on water. They had to leave.

[00:12:02]Nolan chose to stay behind on the island, planning to catch a ride back later with a different group of friends he'd met that day, specifically so he could keep talking to a girl. On its own, that's a plausible teenage decision. People stay behind at parties.

[00:12:20]People change plans on a whim. None of that by itself is suspicious.

[00:12:26]Here's where it starts to strain. One of Nolan's friends, Traken Shepard, has said on the record that nobody in the group swims with their phone, that everybody leaves their phones on the boat protected from saltwater, and that he personally put his phone on the dashboard alongside roughly 15 others belonging to the group. That's a completely reasonable explanation for why phone stay on the boat during a swim. It is not an explanation for why a phone would leave the island entirely on a boat that wasn't coming back that day if its owner was staying behind. Think about the actual mechanics of what's being described. If Nolan was planning to stay on Horn Island and catch a ride back later with someone else, his phone serves a specific and obvious purpose in that plan. It's how he coordinates that ride. How he tells his mother he's safe.

[00:13:20]How he reaches anyone at all once his original group is gone. Leaving it behind with people who are physically leaving the island doesn't fit a plan to stay. It fits a plan to leave with them.

[00:13:33]If this is the detail that's bothered you most about this case, drop the word phone below. I want to be precise about what I'm claiming here because precision is the entire point of this channel.

[00:13:46]I'm not saying this proves Nolan intended to get on that boat and was somehow prevented. I'm saying the explanation currently on the record. He chose to stay and phones normally stay on the boat during a swim answers a question nobody asked while leaving the actual question unanswered. Nobody's disputing that phones get left behind during a swim. What's unexplained is why a phone would get left behind during a permanent departure from the island by its owner's choice. There's a second piece of this same puzzle worth naming carefully. Early in this case, a widely circulated video was said to capture a voice, Nolan's voice, according to the original claim, demanding a phone back.

[00:14:33]That specific claim has since been disputed. Trachan Shepard came forward and said the voice on that recording was his own from a separate unrelated altercation and Nolan wasn't shown in the footage at all. Attorney Crump, pressed directly on this at a later press conference, acknowledged the original identification came from a single witness, that a second witness has since disputed it, and that his team's own audio experts are still working to determine, if possible, whose voice is actually on the recording. I'm including this not to resurrect the original claim as fact. it isn't confirmed. And treating it as confirmed would undo a correction that's already been made publicly on the record by the person who made the original claim. I'm including it because the underlying question the clip raised. Did somebody at some point that day need to ask for a phone back remains open regardless of whose voice it turns out to be? That's a fair, still unresolved thread, even with the specific attribution to Nolan currently unconfirmed. Then there's the clothing. Jackson County Coroner Bruce Lynn has confirmed without dispute from either side that the swimsuit recovered on Nolan's body matched what he'd been photographed wearing earlier that day.

[00:15:59]separately and more strikingly, multiple accounts, including from the United Cinjun Navy, the volunteer search organization involved in his recovery, describe him as having been found fully clothed. That detail matters because of what it typically indicates. A body recovered midsim caught by a rip current often shows signs consistent with active swimming. Swim trunks, minimal clothing, sometimes clothing displaced by current.

[00:16:30]A body found fully clothed, more often points towards someone dressed for departure. Someone in the process of leaving, not the process of getting in the water for a swim. That's not a certainty. Currents do strange things, and clothing alone has never been treated as conclusive evidence of anything in a case like this. But it's one more data point that sits uncomfortably next to the official account rather than comfortably inside it. None of these three things, the phone logic, the disputed audio, the clothing is individually proof of anything. But stack them together and you get exactly what a second independent forensic examination is designed to test whether the physical evidence actually supports the story everyone's been told or whether it quietly contradicts it in ways nobody's been forced to explain yet. That's the whole reason this update matters more than a routine case check-in. It's the first time the physical evidence has actually been given a chance to answer back. the timeline underneath the story.

[00:17:39]It's worth laying the actual timeline next to this logic problem because a lot of what doesn't add up here only becomes visible once you see the sequence of events in order. According to GPS records later obtained from the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, the boat carrying Nolan's group left its dock at approximately 9:56 a.m. and arrived at Horn Island at 11:14 a.m. Nothing about that raises a question. It's an ordinary holiday morning arrival. The last confirmed sighting of Nolan alive places him on the island around 300 p.m. At around that same hour, someone aboard the group's boat placed a call reporting the vessel was taking on water and needed towing assistance. A call independently corroborated by dispatch audio recorded in real time hours before anyone knew Nolan would go missing. The boat left the island at 4:31 p.m., roughly matching the earliest public account from Judge Ashley Cole, whose son Warren had been aboard. It returned to the mainland dock at approximately 5:44 p.m.

[00:18:52]without Nolan. That leaves a window of roughly 90 minutes from the 300 p.m.

[00:18:58]sighting to the 4:31 p.m. departure that nobody on any side of this case has publicly walked through in detail.

[00:19:07]Whatever happened to Nolan, if anything happened to him before that boat left, happened somewhere inside that window.

[00:19:16]Layered on top of that timeline are two accounts that don't fully agree with each other. And it's worth being precise about how they actually disagree because it's more subtle than a flat contradiction. Nolan's best friend, Javin Williams, has said on the record to two separate outlets that he'd never known Nolan to stay back while his friends left, directly at odds with the story the friend group has told publicly. Separately, the young woman Nolan spent his final confirmed minutes with, a young woman the public knows only as Katie, has, according to her mother's public statement, said Nolan told her he intended to head back toward his own group's boat. She never actually witnessed him get on it. That's not the same thing as a flat eyewitness contradiction of the friend group's account. It's an assumption based on a real conversation that something changed between the moment he stated that intention and whatever happened next.

[00:20:17]Both of those threads matter for the same reason the phone does. Somewhere between a stated intention to leave or a stated intention to stay and the boat's actual departure at 4:31 p.m. something happened that changed the outcome. And as of tonight, nobody involved has publicly accounted for what that something was. If you're tracking all of these threads at once, drop the word timeline below. I know it's a lot, and that's kind of the point. It's a lot to hold in your head at once. And that's exactly why breaking this down carefully, piece by piece, matters more here than in almost any other case this channel has covered. A single loose thread is easy to dismiss. Four or five of them, all pointing in slightly different directions, but all landing in the same 90-minute window, stop looking like coincidence and start looking like exactly what an actual investigation is supposed to untangle.

[00:21:19]>> Dr. Roger Mitch said that the focal area of red discoloration in the soft tissue soft tissue of the back of the head the oipica region is significant because he cannot determine why you have that red discoloration in the back of his brain. That's significant. He also talked about Mr. William just the fact that as it's common practice he was missing his throat when they received the body and he wants to know why they held it back. He's not drawing any conclusions, but he said he would want to examine it if there were uh neck fractures or compressions to the neck. And he thinks that's significant to know at autopsy.

[00:22:23]The reason he says he would hold it back when he was medical examiner because he thought that there may have been some issues with neck fractures. The last thing that is significant is what we said before about him, the condition of his body when he went into the water.

[00:22:45]Was he conscious or unconscious? Was he forced or unforced into the water? He said those things are very significant.

[00:22:54]But he started off talking about this red discoloration in the back of his head is something that was of great concern to him.

[00:23:04]>> What the second autopsy actually found.

[00:23:07]Here's where we need to slow all the way down because this is the part of tonight's update that's going to get summarized in a hundred different ways online in the next 24 hours. And a lot of those summaries are going to get it wrong in one direction or the other. I want to walk through exactly what's in this report. Not more, not less. The report is dated July 19th, 2026.

[00:23:35]Cause of death, undetermined, pending investigation. Manner of death, undetermined, pending investigation. The second autopsy itself was performed on July 10th, 4 days after Nolan's body was found and after the initial state autopsy had already been completed. Dr. Mitchell's report opens by describing the condition of the body when it reached him marked decomposition which he says created real limitations on what could actually be observed. This is important context for everything that follows. He's not describing a fresh examination. He's describing a second later look at a body that had already been through one full autopsy and several more days of decomposition since Nolan was recovered from the water. Why a second autopsy even happens. It's worth pausing here to explain something that a lot of coverage of this case has skipped past. why a family would seek out a second independent autopsy at all when a state medical examiner had already completed one. A second independent forensic examination isn't a routine step in most death investigations.

[00:24:54]Families typically don't have the resources, the connections, or frankly the reason to seek one out. It happens in cases where trust in the first process has already broken down. And in this case, that breakdown started almost immediately with a sheriff's public statement suggesting no foul play was suspected before any meaningful investigation had actually occurred. A second autopsy also comes with real unavoidable limitations, and Dr. Mitchell's report is honest about every one of them rather than glossing over them to reach a cleaner conclusion. By the time he examined Nolan's body on July 10th, 6 days after Nolan disappeared and 4 days after his body was recovered, natural decomposition had already progressed significantly. Organs that would normally still be present in the body cavity for a second examiner to inspect firsthand had already been removed, dissected, and following standard practice, returned to the body cavity for burial, which means Dr. Mitchell could examine tissue samples and photographs from that process, but not directly observe the original condition of those organs himself. This is precisely why his report reads the way it does, full of cannot rule out, inconclusive and pending investigation rather than a clean, singular conclusion. That carefulness isn't hedging for its own sake. It's what an honest, rigorous second opinion is supposed to look like when it's working with real physical limitations rather than pretending they don't exist.

[00:26:42]Because of that decomposition, Dr. Mitchell performed additional dissection procedures that hadn't been done in the first autopsy of the face, the back of the head and neck, the ribs, the pelvis, the soft tissue, the back, the arms and legs. specifically to rule out blunt force injury. On most of that additional work, his findings were reassuring. No fractures, no deep tissue injuries identified. But there were two findings that weren't reassuring, and they're the reason this press conference happened at all. Drop the word finding below if you want the full detail on both because they matter. the first a 12x 8 cm area of red discoloration in the soft tissue at the back of the head over the occipital bone. Dr. Mitchell was direct that the cause of this discoloration is unclear. There's no laceration of the overlying skin, no fracture of the underlying skull. He stated plainly that these findings are inconclusive for an injury that occurred before death given both the extensive decomposition and the absence of any accompanying injury. And he was equally direct about something else. This finding couldn't have been observed in the first autopsy at all because that posterior head and neck dissection wasn't performed the first time around. It only exists in the record because this second independent examination happened. I want to be precise here because it would be easy to overstate this. Dr. Mitchell did not say this proves an injury. He said it's unclear. It's inconclusive on its own and it's significant enough that it needs further investigation rather than being set aside. That's the exact question raised in tonight's hook, and it deserves a real answer rather than just a raised eyebrow. How often does this kind of discoloration actually show up in ordinary drowning or accidental death cases? Dr. Mitchell's report doesn't offer a statistical baseline.

[00:28:55]That's not typically something a preliminary forensic report includes.

[00:28:59]But the fact that he flagged it at all in a report otherwise built around careful conservative language tells you something. Forensic pathologists don't highlight incidental findings. They highlight findings they think a future examiner or a grand jury needs to know about. It's worth understanding generally what kind of process would actually answer that frequency question properly because how common is this isn't something any of us watching from home can determine by comparing notes in a comment section. It would take a forensic pathologist, ideally more than one, reviewing a body of comparable drowning and water recovery cases, accounting for variables like time in the water, water temperature, and the degree of decomposition, and comparing the rate at which this specific kind of soft tissue discoloration appears without an accompanying fracture or laceration. That's exactly the kind of analysis a grand jury proceeding with expert witnesses testifying under oath is built to produce. And it's part of why Crump's team has specifically asked that Dr. Mitchell be allowed to present his findings directly to that body rather than have this report simply exist as a preliminary document the public interprets on its own. The second finding is the one that's generated the most public reaction and it deserves the same careful handling. The anterior internal neck structures, the trachea, the lingial cartilage, the thyroid horn, and the hyoid bone were not received with the body when Dr. Mitchell performed the second autopsy. Here's what that actually means in his own stated terms. Dr. Mitchell said it's a reasonably common forensic practice for a medical examiner to retain neck structures from an initial autopsy for additional evaluation.

[00:30:58]Something he himself did during his years as DC's chief medical examiner, specifically in cases where there was any concern about a fracture or compression of the throat. He does not know why Mississippi's medical examiner retained these structures in this specific case. But because he didn't have them to examine, he said plainly that a posterior neck dissection performed without review of the anterior neck structures is incomplete. And therefore, he cannot rule out injury to the neck as a contributing factor or a cause of death. Read that again because it's the sentence that's driving tonight's headlines. He cannot rule out injury to the neck. That is not the same thing as confirming one. It's a forensic pathologist saying plainly and on the record that a specific and significant category of injury remains neither confirmed nor excluded because the tissue that would answer that question wasn't available for him to examine.

[00:32:02]If you're now wondering why that specific tissue wasn't sent with the body, you're asking the same question Dr. Mitchell asked. Drop why below.

[00:32:13]There's a third limitation worth naming because it explains just how much of this case is still genuinely unresolved.

[00:32:21]Dr. Mitchell could not directly examine the airway or lungs for the presence of water and could not directly examine the stomach contents because those organs had already been dissected during the first autopsy, which is standard appropriate procedure. That means the single most basic forensic question in a suspected drowning case, was there water in this person's lungs, is something only Mississippi's original medical examiner's office can currently answer.

[00:32:50]And Dr. Mitchell's report says he's hoping for the opportunity to review their original photographs and findings directly.

[00:32:59]Toxicology results from both the state and the independent examination were still not back at the time this report was written. Everything you heard in tonight's hook about people already pushing narratives about what might be in his system, that's the exact vacuum this delay creates. Everyday toxicology isn't back. is another day for speculation to fill the space a lab result should be filling instead. Dr. Mitchell closed his preliminary report with a specific list of outstanding questions. And I think this list more than anything else tonight actually shows you what undetermined pending investigation really means in practice.

[00:33:42]It's not a shrug. It's a checklist. And I don't want to just read it to you. I want to walk through why each one matters and what it would actually do for this case once it's answered. One, what were the circumstances that led to Nolan entering the water? This is the umbrella question. Everything else sits underneath, and it's the one every other finding in this report ultimately points back to. Right now, the only account of how Nolan ended up in the water at all is secondhand and after the fact. Nobody has described actually watching it happen. Answering this doesn't just fill in a timeline gap. It's the difference between accidental drowning being a conclusion investigators reached versus a label that got applied before anyone actually knew. Two, what was his body position when he was found? This one sounds procedural, but it isn't. Body position at recovery can tell a forensic pathologist things about how someone entered the water and how long they'd been in it. Face down versus face up consistent with active swimming versus consistent with someone who was already unresponsive. Right now the only account of this face down fully clothed comes secondhand from the cinjun navy relayed through the family not from an official report. Getting this confirmed in writing from the agency that actually recovered him would either support or contradict everything built on top of it, including tonight's entire clothing discussion.

[00:35:23]Three, was there water in the airway?

[00:35:26]This is honestly the single most basic fact a drowning investigation is supposed to establish, and it's still missing. Water in the lungs indicates someone was breathing at the point they entered the water, a genuine drowning.

[00:35:42]Its absence can indicate the opposite, that a person was already dead or already unable to breathe before they ever went into the water. Dr. Mitchell couldn't examine this directly because the lungs were already dissected in the first autopsy. Answering it requires nothing new, just Mississippi's original examiner sharing what they already saw.

[00:36:08]Four. Is there any evidence of injury to the anterior neck structures? This is the question this entire video is named after. It can't currently be answered at all because the structures themselves, the trachea, the lingial cartilage, the thyroid horn, the hyoid bone weren't sent with the body. Answering it requires either those structures being located and examined, or Mississippi's original examiner explaining in detail exactly what they observed before retaining them. Until one of those two things happens, this stays the single largest unresolved gap in the entire case. Five. Is there any evidence of intraranial hemorrhaging? This connects directly to the red discoloration Dr. Mitchell found at the back of the head.

[00:37:01]Bleeding inside the skull is one of the clearest physical markers of blunt force trauma that exists in forensic pathology. Its presence wouldn't prove how the injury happened, accident, altercation, or otherwise, but it would move the discoloration finding from unexplained to confirmed injury of some kind, which is a significant step even without answering intent. Its absence would meaningfully soften how much weight that discoloration should carry going forward. Six. What was the composition of the stomach contents?

[00:37:38]This one does two jobs at once. It can help establish a timeline, how long before death Nolan last ate, which narrows the window investigators are working with. And depending on what's found, it can also intersect directly with the toxicology question below it.

[00:37:56]Since stomach contents are sometimes tested alongside blood and tissue samples, it's a quieter question than the others, but it's a real piece of the clock. This case still doesn't have seven. What do the toxicology results actually show? This is the one everyone's been waiting on the longest, and it's the one most likely to actually reshape public understanding of this case once it lands in either direction.

[00:38:25]A clean toxicology result takes one entire category of speculation off the table permanently. A result showing anything unexpected reopens every other question on this list with new urgency.

[00:38:41]Right now, in the absence of that result, people are already filling that gap with guesses. Once it's back, that stops being necessary. Every one of those questions requires information Dr. Mitchell didn't have access to when he wrote this report. Every one of them is in theory answerable by the state medical examiner's original findings by toxicology labs that are still processing samples by investigators who haven't yet released what they know.

[00:39:11]That's worth sitting with for a second.

[00:39:13]None of these are unanswerable mysteries. There are specific concrete pieces of evidence that exist somewhere right now in a lab, in a file, on a shelf, just not yet in front of the one independent expert this family trusted enough to ask. If you now see why this is a checklist and not just a shrug, drop the word checklist below. The report ends with a sentence that's easy to skip past, but shouldn't be. Dr. Mitchell wrote that for these reasons, he cannot rule out whether any intervening non-acal factors contributed to or caused Nolan's death. That is the most consequential line in this entire report. And it's worth being exact about what it does and doesn't say. It does not say foul play occurred. It says a qualified independent forensic pathologist working with the information available to him cannot currently eliminate that possibility. In a case that's already generated this much public attention, that distinction is going to get flattened online within hours. It's on us to keep it precise.

[00:40:26]And and I want to take a moment before we answer your questions to talk about two other young black men, both 18 years old, who were killed in extraordinary ways that are very similar to Noah.

[00:40:49]President Johnson, 18-year-old Daniel went on a fishing trip uh out on a fishing boat with two other young men.

[00:41:03]He was the only black.

[00:41:07]It is alleged that he end up accidentally drowned, but his two white friends [snorts] got his cell phone and threw it away, got his clothes and threw it away, and then went and deleted ALL OF THEIR TEXT messages with him in social media.

[00:41:33]Sound familiar?

[00:41:39]and they've only been charged with tampering with evidence and his mother is crying out that they should be charged with murder because if they will lie about his cell phone and his clothes and deleted messages, then they will lie about what really happened to Daniel.

[00:42:05]And then there's the murder, President Johnson, Christian Clark of 18-year-old Stern Smith. I'm sorry, Tyler Smith.

[00:42:18]Tyler Smith on 4th of July was at a house party with about 10 other people. He was only the only black person at the house.

[00:42:35]He somehow ends up shot in the head.

[00:42:41]>> Dead.

[00:42:45]Some of the friends get rid of the gun.

[00:42:50]The police show up. They tell the police it was a accident. It was an accidental shooting. THAT THEY WERE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE.

[00:43:05]AND TITUS Smith end up getting killed.

[00:43:10]And apparently Christian Clark, President Johnson, THE POLICE JUST TOOK THEIR WORD FOR IT.

[00:43:19]His mother and grandmother ARE IN SENSE.

[00:43:23]THEY ASKED THE POLICE, "DID YOU DO A GUNSHOT RESIDUE TEST ON his hands?

[00:43:33]And the reason they said they had to call us like Daniel Urban and Norma Nolan Williams family because the police told them, President Johnson, that there was no need to do gunshot residue on his hands or any of the other people in the house because I don't understand this logic, but they that if we they were playing Russian roulette then all of them would have gunshot residue on their hands so we don't need to do gunshot residue test.

[00:44:16]>> IT MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

[00:44:19]SO THEY ARE taking the word of these 10 people that your son just killed HIMSELF AND YOU DON'T have to worry about doing any investigation or testing forensically anything. Just take our WORD FOR IT. NOW, CAN YOU IMAGINE IN ANY THREE OF THESE SCENARIOS HAVE THE SURVIVORS BEEN YOUNG BLACK MEN AND THEY WERE A YOUNG WHITE MAN AND HE END UP DEAD? WHAT KIND OF INVESTIGATION WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN? WHAT KIND OF INTERROGATION WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN?

[00:45:02]WOULD THEY HAVE EVER BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AND THEN THOSE ON QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED? WELL, JUST LIKE YOU WILL DO A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION FOR YOUR CHILDREN, WE WANT YOU TO DO A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION FOR US.

[00:45:20]>> Before questions from the press, Ben Trump raised two other cases publicly by name, saying he sees a pattern he wants people to know about. I want to present these clearly as his claims made on the record, not as facts this channel has independently verified because we haven't and neither has any court. He described an 18-year-old named Daniel Irvings, who he says drowned on a fishing trip with two other young men, both white, after which he claims those two friends took his cell phone and threw it away, disposed of his clothes, and deleted their text messages and social media related to him. According to Crump, they've since been charged with tampering with evidence, and Irvings's mother is pushing for more. He also described an 18-year-old named Tyler Smith, who Crump says was the only black person at a house party on the 4th of July when he was shot and killed.

[00:46:19]According to Crump, the gun was disposed of and the surviving witnesses told police it happened during a game of Russian roulette and that police by his account declined to run gunshot residue tests on anyone present, reasoning that if everyone was playing the same game, everyone would test positive regardless.

[00:46:39]I want to be very clear about what I'm doing by including this. I am not verifying either of these cases independently in this video. I'm telling you that Ben Crump raised them publicly by name in a national press conference specifically to argue that Nolan's case fits a pattern he believes is being repeated elsewhere. Whether that pattern holds up is a separate question from whether he said it and he did say it on the record, and it's part of understanding why this case has become as large as it has. His closing question to the room is worth including in full because it's the actual argument underneath everything else tonight. Can you imagine in any of these three scenarios, had the survivors been young black men and they were with a young white man who ended up dead, what kind of investigation would that have been?

[00:47:30]Crump also invoked a longer list of names during this same portion of the press conference. EMTT Till and Megar Evers from Mississippi's Own History and more recently Trayvon Martin, Michael [clears throat] Brown, Briana Taylor, Ahmad Arbory, Botham Jean, Terren Crutcher, Stefon Clark, Sandra Bland, Atatiana Jefferson, Alton Sterling, Eric Garner, George Floyd, and Tamir Rice. He wasn't claiming Nolan's case is legally identical to any of those. The facts of each are different and several of them involve direct police action in ways this case as of tonight does not. What he was doing was placing this case inside a lineage he believes his organization and his legal career have spent years responding to a pattern of young black lives. Where he argues the earliest official explanation offered was later shown to be incomplete or wrong once real pressure and real scrutiny were applied. Whether you find that framing persuasive or overreaching is going to depend a lot on where you already stood before you watch this video. And that's worth being honest about, too. It's a rhetorical choice made deliberately at a podium by an attorney whose entire practice is built around exactly this kind of pattern recognition. It's not a neutral description of Nolan's case. It's an argument for why Nolan's case deserves the same level of scrutiny those other names eventually received, some of them years after the fact, when it was too late to matter for the person at the center of it. Why this case pulled in outside support? Within days of Nolan's body being recovered, this case pulled in support from well beyond Ocean Springs. And it's worth walking through why, because the reasoning matters as much as the names involved. Colin Kaepernick agreed to help fund this independent autopsy flown up and performed in Washington DC, specifically by a pathologist with no professional ties to Mississippi law enforcement whatsoever. Filmmaker Tyler Perry stepped in separately to cover funeral costs. Beyond those two names, a community fundraiser boosted by strangers who never met Nolan passed six figures within days. At an earlier press conference in Harlem, standing beside Christine, Reverend Sharpton, and his legal team, Elmore said a line that's followed this case ever since. He was one black kid with three young white men who happened to end up with his phone, happened to end up with his keys. He said, "This does not smell right." He was careful in the same breath to say, "This isn't him accusing any specific person of a crime. It's him naming out loud why a father in his position can't just accept the first explanation he's handed. Historian and author Ibram X Kendi addressed a separate strand of public conversation around this case, directly pushing back on any suggestion that Nolan should have known better than to be part of a mixed race friend group in the first place. Blaming him for simply being there, Kendi argued, is exactly the kind of reasoning that lets everyone else involved off the hook for asking harder questions. That context matters not as an accusation against any individual investigator working this case, but as a reason a grieving family chose to fly their son's body a thousand m away for a second medical opinion they felt they could trust. It's also worth being fair to the other side of that same tension. Mississippi's Department of Public Safety Commissioner has stated publicly that there is no indication race played a role in Nolan's death.

[00:51:20]That statement exists alongside the family's stated distrust. An honest account of this case includes both.

[00:51:28]Rather than flattening it into one side or the other, Trump thanked several people by name for contributing to what's now a $125,000 reward, including businessman Terry Owens, for anyone with information that helps investigators get to the truth. He specifically thanked everyone who's called into the family's tip line and made a direct appeal for more particularly for the photos and videos so many people reportedly took on Horn Island that day. We've gotten so many videos, he said, from young people, and we want them to have the courage to come forward with the pictures, what you heard. I know people said there were a lot of disturbances out there. Some believe they involved Nolan. All of those things are important to get to the truth of what happened. That tipline detail is worth remembering because it's a genuinely actionable thing for anyone watching this who was actually on that island on July 4th. If you have footage, photos, or firstirhand knowledge, it goes to investigators and to the family's legal team, not into a comment section, where it becomes just one more unverified claim in an already crowded feed. The second detail is smaller, but has stuck with a lot of people following this case closely, and it connects directly back to the clothing question from tonight's hook. Crump described being told by the United Cinjun Navy, the volunteer search organization that assisted in the search, that Nolan was recovered face down and fully clothed.

[00:53:03]He connected that to something specific.

[00:53:06]In the last video footage the family has seen of Nolan from that day, he wasn't wearing a shirt. So, at what point, Crump asked, did he put on a shirt? I want to be careful with this one specifically, the same way I've been careful with everything else tonight.

[00:53:22]This is a secondhand account of what the Cinjun Navy told the family, not a detail confirmed in Dr. Mitchell's written autopsy report and not something independently verified by this channel.

[00:53:35]It's the kind of detail that's easy to seize on because it feels concrete in a case that's had very few concrete details. But easy to seize on and confirmed are two different things. And I want to hold that line consistently even on the details that feel the most compelling.

[00:53:53]>> How did you get your hands on the phone?

[00:53:55]Where was it?

[00:53:59]>> That is correct. Um Christine called me and told me, "Hey, where are the boys?

[00:54:05]Nola hasn't been heard from since such and such time. Um where are your boys?"

[00:54:10]I said, "Well, Javon is with his girlfriend and I just spoke with Jaylen and they are headed to downtown," which I was literally getting ready to get in the shower to go downtown as well.

[00:54:22]>> Um, she said, "Well, Nolan has." So, I instantly called with Christine on the phone, Javon. Javon said, "No, he hadn't seen uh Nolan >> since early on the island." And he was like, "What? Are y'all serious?" was like, "Yes." And so Christine intervened in the conversation, said, "No, has not have been heard from since he left the island."

[00:54:46]So Javon was like, "Well, that's, you know, that's when I seen him. I haven't seen him since then." You know, again, everybody goes their separate ways. So I then hang up from Javon because obviously there's nothing he can say to tell me anything. So then Jaylen, I call him.

[00:55:04]>> Jaylen did not answer the phone.

[00:55:06]Christine again is on the phone. Jaylen did not answer the phone. Learon I called He didn't answer the phone. I called Learon which is their other friend. Learon Broomfield.

[00:55:15]>> He answered. He said Jaylen is in the gas station. Hold on. So he said hey Jaylen mom on the phone. So he's like Jaylen like what's up mom? What's going on? I was like hey have y'all heard from Nolan? They said no we have not heard from Nolan.

[00:55:29]>> But where was the phone?

[00:55:30]>> So I was like well if Okay. So that's when we started tracking the phone. Well, for Christine, it said one place, but for them on Snapchat, it showed another place.

[00:55:44]So, that's the place we went to. And it showed that everybody that was in the house, it was like a lot of people there. Like, it was I'm not familiar with all the kids. I only know like one or two there, but it showed that the phones at where a lot of people were at.

[00:56:00]So, that's how we knew where to go to.

[00:56:02]We went there. They were all there. They were sitting there, lights off, watching TV.

[00:56:08]>> Did they immediately give you the phone?

[00:56:10]Cuz during that phone, >> it took about 15.

[00:56:15]>> And they did. They gave me the phone, but it took about 15 minutes to get the phone cuz I I even asked. I'm like, did y'all have to walk back to Horn Island to get the phone or like where's the phone? Cuz it took so long when they said it was in when Wyatt told me it was in his truck. It took him so long to get the phone back to me.

[00:56:33]>> So When they brought the phone back, >> I'm sorry. Go ahead, Dashima. I want to hear that.

[00:56:39]>> When they brought the phone, when after I said something about it, he was like, "Well, she's going to get it." I was like, "Who's going to get it?" He's like, "The girl's going to get the phone."

[00:56:45]>> What a joint phone inspection will actually be able to answer. Given how much of tonight's update circles back to that phone, it's worth explaining exactly what the agreed upon joint inspection will and won't actually be able to tell us because there's a lot of confusion online about what this process even is. In most cases, when law enforcement seizes a device, they run their own forensic extraction tools that pull deleted messages, location pings, app activity, sometimes data the phone's own owner never knew was being logged in the background. The family historically only sees what investigators choose to share afterward in whatever form they choose to share it. The arrangement agreed to in this case flips part of that. An expert working on behalf of the family sits in the same room watching the same extraction happen in real time, able to ask questions about what's showing up and what isn't. It doesn't mean the family gets to keep the phone.

[00:57:51]It doesn't mean they control what happens with the data afterward, but it does mean nobody gets to quietly decide alone what does or doesn't count as significant without another set of trained eyes watching it happen. That matters enormously here given what's already publicly known about this specific device. Both of Nolan's Snapchat accounts were reportedly found completely empty when the family accessed the phone. No saved photos, no saved videos, even though Nolan reportedly documented gatherings like this one reliably. And even though that kind of content should typically still have been retrievable within the app's normal 24-hour window, some text messages appeared to be missing as well.

[00:58:38]None of that on its own proves tampering by anyone. People clear their phones for all kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with a crime. But it's worth understanding what deletion on a modern phone actually means before drawing any conclusion. Either way, deleted data is not automatically unreoverable. Forensic extraction can often retrieve information off a device long after someone believes it's permanently gone.

[00:59:07]And separately, carrier side records exist independently of whatever survives on the device itself. That's exactly what the joint inspection is designed to test. If the phone's location history and message timestamps from that 90-minute window we talked about earlier turn out to be recoverable at all, this is the process that would surface them with both sides watching the exact same data at the exact same time specifically so nobody can dispute afterward how it was handled. Such an outpouring of support uh Kate and Christine for Nolan's family here today. We saw the sanctuary here filled with hundreds of people. Uh so many of them former teammates from the high school that Nolan went to and current uh the teammates that he played with in college were there as well. A busload of them came in from the community college that he went to really just to uh stand with Nolan's family and to show their support for the family and really to uh embrace the memory of the person that they considered a brother. I do want you to hear from uh Nolan's parents. His father spoke about how much pride he had in his son and the young man that he was becoming and his mother spoke about the light that he brought into every room that he entered. I want to spend a little time before we close on something a little different because it's part of this story whether we address it directly or not. This case has generated an enormous public response. genuine grief, genuine anger, genuine demand for accountability. Reverend Wendell Anthony, closing the press conference in prayer, mentioned that this single press conference had over 12,000 people watching live on YouTube and 14,000 more on other platforms in real time, 30 minutes before he even said it out loud.

[01:00:57]That volume of public attention is in one sense exactly what's kept this case from quietly closing the way so many similar tragedies do. It's also honestly a double-edged thing because alongside every genuine heartfelt justice for Nolan Wells, this case has also generated theories that go well beyond anything in Dr. Mitchell's actual report. claims about ritual involvement.

[01:01:25]Claims naming specific causes of death with total certainty. This pathologist himself says he doesn't have accusations leveled at named individuals who have not been charged with anything. I'm not going to repeat those specific claims here. And I want to explain exactly why because I think it matters more than just saying we don't cover rumors. Every one of those unverified claims, if it turns out to be wrong, does real damage to the credibility of everyone genuinely trying to get this family real answers and potentially to real people who haven't been charged with any crime. And if any of those claims somehow turns out to be right, repeating it before it's confirmed doesn't get Nolan justice any faster. It just adds noise to a signal that Dr. Mitchell's own report shows is already hard enough to read clearly.

[01:02:23]What I can tell you honestly is this.

[01:02:26]The scale and intensity of the public response to this case is itself a real documented fact, not a rumor. Thousands of people watching a press conference live chanting the same three words.

[01:02:42]That's not nothing. It reflects something true about how this case has landed with people who never knew Nolan personally. But volume of belief isn't the same thing as evidence. And this channel is going to keep treating those two things as separate, even when, especially when a case this emotional makes it tempting not to. There's also something worth naming about what that same comment section shows alongside the grief because it isn't only conspiracy theories sitting next to the genuine outpouring of support. There are real practical questions being asked by ordinary people watching this case closely. The same questions this channel has been asking across every update. Why did contact from local authorities have to be initiated by Nolan's own mother?

[01:03:35]Why an early public statement ruled out foul play before an investigation had meaningfully begun. Why the anterior neck structures weren't available for the second examination. Those aren't fringe questions. They're the same questions Dr. Mitchell's own report leaves open, just phrased by people without a forensic pathology degree in a comment section instead of a preliminary report. The signal is in there. It's just mixed in with a lot of noise. And separating the two is part of the job.

[01:04:09]If you appreciate a channel that separates the real findings from the noise, drop the word clear below.

[01:04:16]>> When Nolan's parents heard the sheriff say there's no foul play at the beginning of the investigation, that is cause for concern. Major concern. you haven't even investigated, but you're saying no foul play. And so we want them to dot every eye and cross every tea. You know, we we had a meeting with the district attorney and we we expressed to them about our lived experiences.

[01:04:48]Our lived experiences, the fact and you know, they they said that's not what happens in her office. But we said we believe if the roles were reversed And there were three young black 18y olds and there was a white 18-year-old who was with them and he ended up dead.

[01:05:14]We don't believe that those young black men would not have been interrogated to the full extent of the law. We believe that it would not have been a choice whether they were going to cooperate with law enforcement if their lawyers and them were going to cooperate. No.

[01:05:34]No. They would have been held until they gave answers. They would have been held until they explained the cell phone in their possession. They would have been held until their cell phones have been examined. AND SO WHATEVER YOU WOULD do had the roles BEEN REVERSED, WE WANT YOU TO DO THE SAME THING FOR NO WAY.

[01:06:03][applause] We have time for one more question and then we're going to have prayer with the religious affairs committee with the family. One more question here.

[01:06:12]>> I'm Tiffany Walden with the charge in Chicago. Um, I know that we're talking about a trans investigation, but for families and people who are watching, can you kind of give a breakdown or a timeline to the best of your ability of the contact that you've had with Miss Mississippi authorities or Ocean Springs authorities or occasion maybe? Have you all talked to them? Do they call you after the initial autopsy? Is it just radio silence from them? Do you have to call them? Can you kind of walk us through that process? So, uh, the last time we actually spoke with local authorities, which would be the sheriff's department, um, was I think a day or two after his body was found. That was only initiated by me. Um, I sent him a text message. I was like, "Hey, this is Christine Nolan's mom. I just want to see if there are any updates." Basically, he called back. There were no updates. He's like, "We're still interviewing."

[01:07:07]And again, my my concern and also u my husband's concern was it was not even an hour that his body had been removed and the sheriff came out and said, "This is, you know, accidental drowning. We don't think there's foul play." Again, that is why we're doing what we're doing and why we're moving the way we are.

[01:07:33]because I sat there and asked them, "Please take this case as if this is your child, >> your family member, your whatever, and they promised that they would, but when you make statements like that straight out the gate, that's an issue." Um, we did meet with the DA. She did promise, you know, transparency and all of this, you know, all of that. However, damage has already been done because now that's the narrative that's being pushed by the general public who again know nothing really only what they're hearing from other people. So, in addition to that, it's all these things coming up. And at the end of the day, like I said before, any parent that would be in this situation, you would do anything, anything to find out what happened to your child. The press conference closed with something that doesn't usually make it into news coverage of a case like this. And I think leaving it out would miss something true about what this day actually was for this family. Knock religious affairs committee member Reverend Wendell Anthony asked everyone in the room to link arms around Christine and Elmore before he prayed.

[01:08:50]There's an old African proverb, he said, that says, "Those whom we love die only in the physical sense, but their spirit continues to live on in the will and determination of those whom they leave behind." He spoke directly to Nolan's parents before he began. "I did not know your son," he said, "but I could tell from just looking at his photograph. I can feel the aura, the joy that you talked about.

[01:09:19]The prayer itself moved between grief and demand in a way that's hard to summarize without flattening it. So I want to give you a piece of it close to as it was said. How long must we continue to pay evil a toll at the gateway toward justice? How long must we see our children lie bleeding in the streets, in the sand, in the water?

[01:09:41]Cover this mother whose tears fall down her cheeks. cover this father as he remembers his son whom he taught, whom he mentored. Yes, to play in life, but more importantly to play the game the way it should be played in living.

[01:09:58]Whatever you make of everything else in tonight's update, the forensic findings, the legal framework, the comparisons to other cases, this was the moment in the room that had nothing to do with any of that. a community physically linking arms around two grieving parents on a stage in front of national television cameras because that's apparently what it takes now for a family like this to be held.

[01:10:25]>> We're going to have our religious affairs committee join us quickly so we can have a quick word of prayer with the family and that will conclude our press conference formally.

[01:10:45]Good morning.

[01:10:50]>> It's a good morning in spite of all that we have heard. It's a good morning because we're here for justice.

[01:10:57]I'm Reverend [snorts] Wendell Anthony from the Detroit branch and also member of the National Board of Directors and part of the religious affairs committee joined by colleagues who are here. I'm going to ask all of you if you would be so kind as to just link arms just link arms so that we can link ourselves around this particular moment and around this family.

[01:11:25]There's an old African proverb that says, "Those whom we love die only in the physical sense, but their spirit continue to live on in the will and determination of those whom they leave behind."

[01:11:40][snorts] Mr. and Mrs. Wells, I did not know your son, but I could tell from just looking at his photograph, I can feel the aura, the joy that you talked about. Yeah, >> we all can experience and feel that Ben Trump has chronicled the list of pain moments in our community by the deceased by those who are now martyrs.

[01:12:14]We have been dying since 1619, >> still seeking justice.

[01:12:24]>> Pray with me.

[01:12:27]Oh Lord, our Lord, how very excellent is thy name in all the earth.

[01:12:35]We are here for but one reason to answer the question, what does the Lord require of us?

[01:12:45]But to do justice, to love mercy, to even walk humbly with our God.

[01:12:53]Lord God, your people are here be seeking justice.

[01:12:59]We're here for transparency.

[01:13:02]We're here for truth. You who are the way, the truth, and the life. We're here because of you, Lord God. How long must we continue to pay evil a toll at the gateway towards justice?

[01:13:21]How long must we see our children lie bleeding in the streets, in the sand, in the water, and the asphalt pavements of this nation that we built even on July the 4th, a day that serves a lesson in mockery and dichotomy, where we talk about independence, yet we are not independent from those who seek justice.

[01:13:56]Help us, Lord.

[01:13:58]Bless us right now. Bless this family.

[01:14:03]Cover this mother whose tears fall down her cheeks. out of this father as he remembers his son WHOM HE TAUGHT AND WHOM HE MENTORED >> to play in life but MORE IMPORTANTLY TO PLAY the game the way it should be play in living.

[01:14:23]>> Lord God, we thank you so much. We've gone down the roads. They lied on Martin.

[01:14:30]>> They lied on Mega.

[01:14:33]>> They lied on Malcolm. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, OH GOD, THEY LIED ON YOU.

[01:14:39]>> YOU WHO KNOW ABOUT LIES. WE KNOW THAT THE TRUTH SHALL EVENTUALLY set us ALL FREE. HELP US TO GET THE TRUTH EVEN IN MISSISSIPPI. OH LORD, help us to GET THE TRUTH FOR OUR CHILDREN. YOU KNOW, LIKE WE KNOW THERE ARE MORE BLACK BOYS IN SCHOOL THAT ARE IN JAIL. WE KNOW, OH GOD, THAT THERE ARE MORE OF US WHO ARE STRIVING FOR THE BENEFIT OF LIFE RATHER THAN THE POISON FROM LIVING. OH LORD, HOW LONG WILL JUSTICE CONTINUE TO LIFT UP HER BROWS SO THAT SHE CAN SEE WHO IS STANDING BEFORE US SO SHE CAN MAKE A DECISION THAT IS NOT IN OUR ENTRANCE BUT IN THE INTEREST OF THOSE WHO SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM US. HELP US LORD. DON'T WE AS A PEOPLE BLEED LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE? DON'T WE AS A PEOPLE COMFORT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE? DON'T WE AS A PEOPLE JUSTICE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE? DON'T WE AS A PEOPLE FEEL THE PAIN WHEN OUR CHILDREN ARE TAKEN FROM US LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

[01:15:44]HELP AMERICA, LORD, BECAUSE AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM. WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

[01:15:51]AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM. FIX THE PROBLEM.

[01:15:56]IN 250 YEARS, WE STILL SEEM TO SUFFER FROM THE SAME OLD PROBLEM. FIX AMERICA, OH GOD. FIX JUSTICE, OH GOD. Fix us, oh God. Fix Mississippi, OH GOD. THERE THOSE WHO ARE STANDING IN THE GATEWAY TO BREAK OPEN THE DOORS FOR JUSTICE.

[01:16:23]NOT JUST US BUT JUSTICE. HELP US NOW LORD. This is our prayer. This is OUR you have the power TO GIVE AND THAT IS JUSTICE. THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH. THE JUST SHALL LIVE by their faith. And oh Lord, WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN. When we fight, we win.

[01:16:54]WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN. LET'S WIN IN THE NAME of justice. LET THE PEOPLE OF GOD WHO CALL US TO his name, PURPOSE, WHO BELIEVE IN JUSTICE, SAY, "AMEN."

[01:17:11]AMEN. AMEN.

[01:17:15]JUSTICE I AM PRAISED. WE PRAISE God for justice.

[01:17:22]God bless.
