Civil Rights Lawyer Ben Crump Releases Cellphone Data From Nolan Wells Case
Attorney Ben Crump released forensic cellphone data and autopsy details days after a Mississippi grand jury found no evidence of criminal conduct in the teen's death.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has released information from a forensic examination of Nolan Wells's cellphone, along with details from the official autopsy, days after a Mississippi grand jury said it found no evidence of criminal conduct in the death of the 18-year-old.
Crump described the messaging data recovered from the phone as "very telling," though he did not elaborate publicly on the specific contents beyond that characterisation.
The release follows the grand jury's determination and comes as attorneys representing the family of Wells, a Black college student, have called for greater transparency around the case.
The family's legal representatives have specifically asked that the grand jury's investigative materials and the official autopsy report be made publicly available, arguing that fuller disclosure is warranted given the circumstances of the case.
The case has drawn continued attention as the family and their attorneys press for additional information to be released, following the grand jury's finding that it identified no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
