Emmett Till murder: Grand jury declines to indict woman whose accusation incited Black teen's lynching

GREENWOOD, Miss. - A grand jury in Mississippi has declined to indict the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Black teenager Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago, despite revelations about an unserved arrest warrant and an unpublished memoir by the woman, a prosecutor said Tuesday.After hearing more than seven hours of testimony from investigators and witnesses, a Leflore County grand jury last week determined there was insufficient evidence to indict Carolyn Bryant Donham on charges of kidnapping and manslaughter.It is now increasingly unlikely that Donham, who is now in her 80s, will ever be prosecuted for her role in the events that led to Till’s lynching.The Rev. Wheeler Parker, Jr., Emmett Till’s cousin and the last living witness to Till’s 1955 abduction, said Tuesday’s news is unfortunate, but predictable.After their acquittal in the Emmett Till trial, defendant Roy Bryant (right), smokes a cigar as his wife happily embraces him and his half brother, J.W.

Federal appeals court rules 2019 Georgia law banning most abortions should be allowed to take effect

ATLANTA (AP) - A federal appeals court on Wednesday overturned a lower court ruling and said Georgia’s restrictive 2019 abortion law should be allowed to take effect.The Georgia law bans most abortions once a "detectable human heartbeat" is present. Cardiac activity can be detected by ultrasound in cells within an embryo that will eventually become the heart as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, before many women realize they’re pregnant.The Georgia law includes exceptions for rape and incest, as long as a police report is filed.

Triple threat: Watch as 3 waterspouts swirl off the Alabama coast

MOBILE, Ala. - It’s like a scene from the movie "Twister" – but only over water.Beachgoers in Alabama watched as not one, not two but three waterspouts danced on Mobile Bay Monday morning.More waterspouts were spotted along the coast, prompting the National Weather Service in Mobile to issue a Special Marine Warning for South Mobile Bay, North Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound.While there was no threat to land, the fair-weather waterspouts are common this time of year through early fall along the Gulf Coast.WHAT IS A WATERSPOUTThese types of waterspouts usually form during relatively calm weather and are not associated with thunderstorms.A screengrab from a video shows three waterspouts near Mobile Bay, Alabama, on June 20, 2022. (Credit: Kelly Woods via Storyful) The NWS says that the fair-weather waterspouts generally happen during the early to mid-morning and sometimes during the late afternoon and form along dark flat bases of a line of developing cumulus clouds. "Strong temperature gradients between the water and land help create these localized areas of spin (vorticity) at the surface owing to sharp but usually weak changes in wind direction over the bay and adjacent gulf waters," NWS Mobile meteorologists told FOX Weather. The change in wind direction causes rotation. "In most cases like we saw today, we had a thunderstorm that developed over the area of vorticity that helped to stretch that up into the air.

Storm fatigue: Small Mississippi town has seen more tornado warnings this year than anywhere else in America

MERIDIAN, Miss. - Another severe weather outbreak is sweeping through much of the South this week -- their fourth outbreak in as many weeks, leading anxious residents once again casting a wary eye on the skies.An overlay of the Wednesday's daunting severe weather risk outlook by NOAA's Storm Prediction Center matched with the number of tornado reports and Tornado Warnings already received this year illustrates the issue. There have already been about 25 earlier tornado reports this year inside the area of greatest risk for Wednesday.The area of greatest risk stretches into Mississippi which is likely not a surprise to those who live there.No place has had to defend against tornados as much as Mississippi this year. There have already been 87 tornado reports in the state -- more than Texas despite being 1/6th the size -- and accounting for nearly 20% of all tornado reports in the nation in 2022.
