The State's Autopsy Is Done. It's Still Sealed.
Mississippi's state autopsy is complete as of July 31 -- but still sealed pending a grand jury review, with no date set. Since then, the NAACP has joined the family's legal team, the Congressional Black Caucus has asked the DOJ and FBI for a federal review, and a friend who was present has given a fuller account of who's actually heard yelling in a disputed video -- directly conflicting with what the family's attorney says is on the recording. None of it resolves how Nolan Wells died.
