  1. What an absolute SHAME she was never held accountable for her involvement in such a horrific torture and murder of an innocent and amazing young boy. After years she confesses and they still don’t punish her! Terrible job on the judicial system. It’s so frustrating that such an evil person gets to live this long compared to a child she and the two men killed for no reason!

  2. Evil to the core, she was. Can you imagine living your entire life knowing you had a hand in a MURDER and never coming clean? The state of Mississippi will always be an accomplice in the death of Emmett Till.

  3. Acabei de assistir o filme.

    Quanta crueldade, não da pra acreditar no coração que esses seres humanos tinham.

    Tirar a vida de um ser por tão pouco.

    Só resta pra eles a prestação de contas a agora para Deus, a justiça dos homens falhas eles foram inocente, mas da de Deus jamais.
