Quote:You need to learn the difference between understanding WHY someone might have done something, and actually defending what they did.


And as for why she still lied about stuff, from a link within the op article:


"Mr. Acosta said that the case was being reopened because of "renewed interest in the case," including documentary films and other research that indicated that more than two men had been involved in killing Emmett. Mr. Acosta would not be more specific, but said all information would be re-examined."

More than two men involved...


Think theres a chance that not everyone involved in killing that poor child was dead by then?

Your article so I assume you read the quotes from Till's mother. Donham is a mother, you are a mother. If it was more than the two, even more important to speak up. If they would do that to a child, there's no telling what else they would do. That's not the best time to be silent. You need a reason to forgive her, I don't. Any reason you choose is based on supposition.
