"My interactions with Mr. Crump, as well as his conduct in this case, have demonstrated that he is not worthy of our trust." -District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath September 24, 2026

I don't know what Ben Crump just said in his presser, because at this point, I don't even think Ben Crump knows what he is saying. He's a beached fish out of water gasping for breath before we SUE him. NO TRUE BILL, Ben. As confirmed by one of America's finest prosecutors, District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath, Team Crump unbelievably withheld Nolan's phone from law enforcement the entire time, all the while hypocritically calling for transparency. Why should anyone believe one iota of Team Crump's incoherent drivel? I can't imagine any earthly reason. @AttorneyCrump @mrcoxie @SarahisCensored @TheOfficerTatum @AlishaEbrahimji @FugitiveTV_Live @Unshakablewapr @tnnealy02 @CharlieNeff @Unitedcajunnavy @CrystalByndLbls @jasonwhitlock @NancyGrace

Thank you @FugitiveTV_Live for the opportunity to speak with you this evening about Kevin Reddington's full-frontal attack on the U.S. Constitution and heroic holdout juror Michael Péguy Desronvil.

BREAKING: Jackson County, Mississippi Grand Jury UNANIMOUSLY returns a “NO TRUE BILL” in the death investigation of Nolan Xavier Wells. The Grand Jury found no evidence of criminal conduct by anyone who traveled to or from Horn Island on July 4. The report states Wells’ death was consistent with drowning and that he was not involved in any physical altercation that day. I have attached the full report below.

🚨 BREAKING: No one will be indicted in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells after a Mississippi grand jury unanimously returned a “no true bill.” After reviewing witness testimony, physical and digital evidence, GPS data, cellphone records, videos and investigative reports, the grand jury found no credible evidence that Wells’ death involved criminal conduct or was racially motivated. The district attorney also rejected the viral claim that Wells traveled to Horn Island with only three white friends who returned without him, saying he arrived with a much larger group and chose to remain on the island after the boats left.

Ben Crump keeps milking Nolan Wells’ death by pretending there was foul play, even after a unanimous grand jury found NO EVIDENCE of a crime or racial motive. 🤦🏽‍♂️

The Looney Tunes motion filed yesterday by Kevin "Shooter McGavin" Reddington to investigate Michael is not just an attack on Michael for being the courageous lone holdout juror. Reddington's motion is actually a full-frontal attack on the U.S. Constitution. Because if the new normal is that jurors are going to face brutal reprisals for disagreeing with a defense attorney, you can kiss the Sixth Amendment goodbye. To anyone who thinks that Reddington's motion is OK, just remember that the tables will inevitably turn. Imagine a similar trial sometime in the not too distant future where it is the reverse scenario: 11-1 in favor of guilty, with one holdout favoring not guilty by reason of insanity. I doubt you folks would be alright if the District Attorney then filed a motion to investigate that lone holdout standing in the way of a conviction. That's why this is actually not a partisan issue. Really, this is a "do we still want to have a Sixth Amendment" issue. If you are like me and believe steadfastly in the Constitution, it's easy to see how, regardless of your party affiliation, this is an absolutely terrible path of ruin Reddington wants to take us down. If we follow his destructive proposal to its logical conclusion, we're going to have an endless cycle of prosecutors investigating holdouts who oppose "guilty" and defense attorneys investigating holdouts who oppose "not guilty." Pretty soon we'll end up with with a retrograde justice system that will look a lot like the Hatfield-McCoy Feud: a cycle of carnage so malignant that its origins will fade in importance, replaced by the hopeless death spiral of the cycle itself. Kevin Reddington's disgusting motion to investigate Michael is worthy of nothing but universal condemnation. This is certainly not the final word from us on this subject, but merely our first words. It's all going to backfire spectacularly on sore loser Reddington.

Part 2 - The final grand-jury report states that jurors received a 14-page Mobile Device Examination Findings Preliminary Report, followed by a 21-page final mobile-device examination report addressing the device’s lock state, screen activity, messages, calls, location and application usage. The grand jury also received a 261-page Snapchat Conversation Report. Those materials were considered during the investigation. On September 1, the DA’s office emailed the family’s attorney because it had not yet received the completed forensic report and asked whether it had been sent and whether there was a tracking number. Attorney Ahmad Smith responded September 2 that the examination had taken longer than expected and that the final report was expected shortly. The grand jury ultimately received and reviewed the family’s phone evidence before reaching its conclusion. There is another critical finding involving Nolan’s phone. For months, people treated the fact that Nolan’s phone returned to the mainland while Nolan remained on Horn Island as inherently suspicious. The grand jury specifically addressed that. It found that people visiting Horn Island commonly move between boats, socialize on different boats and leave phones and personal belongings aboard vessels other than the ones on which they originally traveled. Most importantly, Nolan’s phone was not the only phone that returned to the mainland without its owner. That is a major factual finding considering how heavily that circumstance was used online to fuel theories of foul play. (I’m thinking of SO many horrible content creators right now that said some pretty wild things things). The grand jury found that Nolan traveled to Horn Island on July 4 with friends aboard one of three boats: the Triton, Palm Beach and Tideline. It then made one of the clearest findings in the entire report: Nolan chose to remain on Horn Island after the three boats departed. Other people remained behind as well. According to the report, Nolan stayed on the island to socialize. The grand jury found NO credible evidence that anyone aboard the Triton, Palm Beach or Tideline engaged in criminal conduct related to Nolan’s death. The report states that allegations against the occupants of those boats were “not based in truth” and were the result of “public clamor and private MALICE.” The grand jury further characterized the public attacks against those individuals, their families and their friends as “malicious, false” and having “no truth in fact or evidence.” I’M HAPPY they chose to address this in the documents. The grand jury also found that GPS data and security-camera footage confirmed the accounts given by passengers aboard the Triton, Palm Beach and Tideline. This means that the witness statements were not considered in isolation. They were checked against objective electronic evidence. The report further states that the individuals who traveled to and from Horn Island aboard those boats fully cooperated with investigators, providing marine GPS devices, surveillance footage, cellphones and statements to both law enforcement and Nolan’s family. The grand jury also found that Nolan was NOT involved in a physical altercation or argument on July 4. Nolan’s family retained forensic pathologist Dr. Roger Mitchell to conduct an independent review, and the newly released correspondence demonstrates that Mitchell was given substantial access. He reviewed the investigative case file, was transported to Horn Island to inspect the area, was permitted to examine retained tissue including Nolan’s larynx and hyoid structures, reviewed histology slides and was given access to materials at Mississippi’s Medical Examiner’s Office and the broader investigative file. The DA specifically arranged for Mitchell to have access to material necessary to complete his opinion.

By July 29, the DA was already warning that unverified claims were fueling hundreds of threats, harassment, and intimidation - and specifically said many referenced information spread directly or indirectly by the Ben Crump team. At the same time, prosecutors were telling the family: bring us the evidence. Witnesses, documents, recordings, digital files - all of it! While the internet mob was screaming murder, the DA was warning that misinformation was putting innocent people in danger. Ben Crump needs to be held accountable.

🚨BREAKING REPORT🚨: JACKSON COUNTY GRAND JURY RETURNS NO TRUE BILL IN NOLAN WELLS DEATH - AND THE RECORD DIRECTLY ADDRESSES THE RUMORS, THE SEA TOW CALL, THE PHONE, THE AUTOPSY, AND THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIS FRIENDS A FULL DETAILED THREAD 🧵 OF THE GRAND JURY DECISION - I told my followers to pay attention to what happened this week. Now you know. After months of accusations, viral theories, threats, social-media speculation and repeated claims that a group of young men somehow killed their best friend, a Jackson County, Mississippi grand jury has completed its investigation into the death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells. The grand jury unanimously returned a No True Bill. That means NO indictment was issued against anyone in connection with Nolan’s death. But the report went considerably further than simply announcing that no one was charged. According to the September 18, 2026 grand-jury report, jurors reviewed an enormous amount of evidence, including evidence presented by Nolan’s own family’s attorneys and privately retained experts, before concluding that there was NO credible evidence connecting the young men who traveled to and from Horn Island with criminal activity related to Nolan’s death. The report states that the grand jury issued 132 subpoenas and heard from 43 witnesses. It reviewed physical evidence, digital evidence, reports, recorded interviews, photographs, videos, maps, GPS and location information, cellular-phone extractions and responses to subpoenas. It also had access to the complete investigative file of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, including material supplied by other law-enforcement agencies involved in the investigation. One of the biggest pieces of misinformation surrounding this case involved the Sea Tow call. The grand jury obtained the ORIGINAL Sea Tow recording made by occupants of the Triton on July 4. After reviewing it, the grand jury found that the various Sea Tow calls and interpretations/manipulations circulating on the internet and social media were “not true and accurate.” That is significant because versions of that call became central to some of the most serious accusations leveled at these young men. Certain individuals dissected it, manipulated it and claimed it proved things that the actual evidence did NOT prove. The grand jury had the original recording, and its conclusion was clear: the online versions and interpretations were not accurate. (Yes, Jeanetta Brantley should be held accountable for this). Nolan’s cellphone also became one of the biggest points of controversy in this case, and the newly released correspondence now shows exactly what happened. The State did not initially possess Nolan’s phone. In an August 17 letter, District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath wrote that if investigators had possessed a legal basis to seize and search the phone, the State would have done so. Instead, the phone remained under the control of Nolan’s parents. The DA’s office repeatedly worked with the family’s attorneys to arrange a forensic examination. The correspondence shows that the FBI agreed to perform that examination at the Mississippi Cyber Initiative laboratory at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. The DA told the family’s attorneys that if they wanted the FBI examination included in the investigation and presented to the grand jury, the phone should be provided to the FBI. The family’s attorneys, however, “had concerns” about the exact examination procedure and wanted a mutually agreed protocol. Ultimately, Nolan’s parents chose to have the phone examined by their OWN independent forensic examiners, Andrew Garrett and Christian Garrett of Garrett Discovery. The family’s OWN experts examined it, and their findings went to the grand jury.

NO TRUE BILL We said it all along: Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour were always completely innocent. There was never any doubt. They are terrific people. Together with my dear friend and colleague J. Tyler Cox, I wish to express our deepest gratitude to District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath and the Jackson County Sheriff's Department for their professional, thorough, and unbiased investigation that was unprecedented both in care and scope. fb.watch/v/4Z3RtxY7J/?mibext… @mrcoxie @TheOfficerTatum @SarahisCensored @FugitiveTV_Live @tnnealy02 @CrystalByndLbls @NancyGrace

Michael will be making a personal statement in the near future, in his own words. But in the meantime, this is only me talking. I want to thank everyone who has sent me emails, texts, and voice messages over the last few days intended to support Michael. Thank you for being caring and nice people. I apologize profusely that I cannot respond to all of them right now but I wanted to say we really appreciate and notice every message, and it all matters a great deal. Every individual message that was sent matters a lot to us. I also want to say that if you disagree with us about anything that we say, that's your right. In fact, I'd be concerned if every single person agreed with every single thing we say. This country was built on intelligent debate in the public square. That's the same reason we support the good faith right of an individual juror to follow the evidence and the law to wherever they take him or her, free from fear of reprisal. Thank you! ED
