Grand Jury Finds No Criminal Wrongdoing in Nolan Wells Death

ABCNews.com:

The grand jury reviewing the evidence in the death of Nolan Wells has found that no criminal charges are warranted at this point, according to the Jackson County Grand Jury Report released late Monday night. The report says that the "position of, condition of, time of discovery, and location" of the 18-year-old's body off the coast of Mississippi this July is "consistent with drowning." 

 

Wells vanished after he and friends had gone out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday on barrier islands off the Gulf Coast. His body was recovered in the waters off Horn Island two days later. 

 

Authorities have previously said they believe the college football player drowned, but the final determination would go to a grand jury that would review all the case materials, including the state medical examiner's completed autopsy report, to decide whether Wells' death involved a crime. The grand jury of 23 people, convened last week, found "no credible evidence to support the public allegations" that anyone riding to or from the island that day surrounding Wells "engaged in any criminal conduct related to" his death.

Well, apparently that's that as the woke, black liberal narrative of 'black kid with all white friends must've been murdered by said white kids' falls apart and resident ambulance-chaser Ben Chump will not be receiving a payday on this one. Of course it's a tragedy that Nolan Wells is dead and sympathy to his family and friends in their time of grief. But a grand jury (with 5 black members) reviewed all of the evidence and found no signs of wrongdoing. Therefore, the attempt to turn a tragic death into an opportunity to sow division, speculation and get money only speaks to greed and moral deficiency.

Convicted Killer Karmelo Anthony Gets New Judge, Demands a New Trial

CNN.com:

The attorney for a Texas teenager convicted of fatally stabbing a track athlete during a high school meet told a judge Thursday that Karmelo Anthony deserves a new trial because of errors that limited access to the proceedings. 

 

Anthony’s attorney told a newly appointed judge that prosecutors also did not follow through with an off-the-record agreement. Defense attorney Russell Wilson said the case’s original judge allowed a “shadow docket” that kept information out of the trial. “Everything was done off the record, at an astonishing clip,” said Wilson, who didn’t represent Anthony at the criminal trial. 

 

Anthony already won a legal victory on Wednesday when the judge who presided over his trial was removed from the case. Judge Michael Chitty was then assigned to consider the motion from Anthony’s attorneys asking for a retrial in the killing of Austin Metcalf.

But just as Black liberals everywhere certainly began to celebrate their favorite convicted killer getting a new judge and the possibly a new trial, comes this bombshell: little Karmelo was already kind of a bad dude before he killed his schoolmate Austin Metcalf. Indeed, according to prosecutor Bill Wirskye, Anthony’s girlfriend, Valeria, told school officials on the morning of April 2, 2025, that she had broken up with Anthony and that he was stalking her. About an hour later, Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed. Wirskye also alleged that Anthony had a history of violence, fantasized in texts about stabbing someone, and had previously been placed in a Louisiana program for children with behavioral and fighting issues. Well, that's not good and it could explain Karmelo's thought process that fateful day.

Irrelevant National Association of Black Journalists Accuses Stephen A. Smith of ‘Pattern of Disparaging’ Black Women

Mediaite.com:

Stephen A. Smith fumed after being given a “thumbs down” by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) — which accused him of a “pattern of disparaging” prominent Black women. 

 

The ESPN First Take host was called out at the NABJ’s annual convention in Atlanta, on Saturday — with the NABJ giving Smith a thumbs down for what it called a “recurring public pattern” from Smith of attacking Black women. 

 

“Smith has established a recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media,” said a narrator on a video played at the convention. “Such commentary reinforces harmful narratives, undermines the fair and respectful representation of Black women in public discourse, and stands in direct conflict with NABJ’s longstanding commitment to accurate, responsible, and inclusive portrayals of Black communities.”

Of course, it's well-documented that Stephen A. Smith has helped out or put on a plethora (from Kimberly A. Martin to Monica McNutt to Cari Champion) of Black women throughout his long career. That's why the NABJ (a long-standing, but irrelevant group if there ever was one) dissing SAS here is nothing more than atacking the guy because he's not a plantation Democrat who blames Trump for any and everything and never holds his party accounatble. Instead, Stephen A. dares to criticize Democrats when need be (including idiots like Jasmine Crockett) and when you're a political party stil mired in identity politics, that's going to piss your base of plantation Democrats really off and that's what going on here.
