This picture is a disturbing one. This is Emmett Louis "Bobo" Till before and after the terrible incident. Emmett's mother Mamie Till had her son’s body back to Chicago for rand open casket ceremony so that everyone can see what those horrible men did to her son. This picture definitely shows the brutality that Roy Bryant and J.W. Milan portrayed on Emmett. The double jeopardy law that they were protected by should have never been in place. Racism also had a big effect on the trial of Emmett’s murder.  The all-white jury was accused of being racist from many people.  The main reason for the two men’s acquittal was the defense’s case that the body was too mutilated to be identified. Some even suggested that Emmett Till was still alive but, the boy was identified but the silver ring on his finger that was imprinted with "L. T." and "May 25, 1943", it was or used to be Emmett’s fathers ring. Emmett’s mother had given it to him just the day before he left for Mississippi on August 20^th, 1955 the last time Mamie would ever see her son alive. Mose Wright took a big risk and testified against the two men as well as Emmett’s cousins who were there when Emmett had been kidnapped. They said if they were going to die they weren’t going to do with the blood of their cousin on their hands. Carolyn Bryant also testified but she was unable to testify in front of the jury because they said her testimony was irrelevant to the murder.  Which it was indeed relevant.
