A Grand Jury has decided that there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the Nolan Wells case, meaning there will not be a state-led investigation into his death. 

In response, the Wells family and their attorneys have released new evidence, which shows that the Grand Jury’s ruling is nothing short of malpractice. 

Nolan Wells was the 18-year-old who drowned off the coast of Mississippi while hanging out with his all-white friend group on 4th of July. 

Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for this week’s MiniPod.
