A recently unearthed arrest warrant for Ms Bryant that was never served led to renewed calls for her to be held accountable for Till’s murder. Ms Bryant “lit a torch to that false accusation” that led to Till’s murder, Mr Barnett said. Till’s cousin Priscilla Sterling told the Courier Journal that “justice was never served”.
