Sheriff: Arrest warrant moot for kidnapping of Emmett Till

FILE - This undated photo shows Emmett Louis Till, who was kidnapped, tortured and killed in the Mississippi Delta in August 1955 after witnesses claimed he whistled at a white woman working in a store. A cousin of Till filed a federal lawsuit on Feb. 7, 2023, seeking to compel the current Leflore County, Miss., sheriff, Ricky Banks, to serve an arrest warrant on Carolyn Bryant in the kidnapping that led to the brutal lynching of Till. She has since remarried and is named Carolyn Bryant Donham. In April 2023, Banks responded to the lawsuit by saying the arrest warrant is moot because a Mississippi grand jury declined to indict Donham in 2022; he also asked a judge to dismiss the suit.
