The Bryant couple were set free while all the evidence of the murder was against them. At that time, the USA was a white-dominated society; hence the jury declared them innocent despite the arrest warrant.
Emmitt Till Wikipedia and Case Timeline
Emmitt Till was an African-American boy born on July 25, 1941, in Chicago, Illinois, U.S. He was murdered in 1955 when he was just 14 years old.
His murder’s ferocity and the fact that his murderers were found not guilty brought to light the long history of violent discrimination against African Americans in the United States, which became a symbol of the civil rights struggle after his death.
He was visiting family in the Mississippi Delta, close to Money, Mississippi, in August 1955 while on summer vacation. He spoke with Carolyn Bryant, a married white owner of a small grocery store nearby, who was 21 years old.
Till was accused of flirting with or whistling at Bryant, even though what transpired in the store is up for debate.
