For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland Paid Partnership Roland Martin spoke with Nolan Wells’ parents, Christine and Elmore Wonsley, and Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump about the unanswered questions surrounding the 18-year-old African American’s death after a July 4th boating trip with white friends. Christine and Elmore Wonsley said Nolan’s phone and car were in separate locations, that his hand was always attached to his phone, and that they do not believe he would have stayed behind on an island without communication. Ben Crump said alleged deleted Snapchat and text messages could be relevant, questioned conflicting accounts about whether Nolan stayed with a girl or was supposed to get back on the boat, and said the family wants a zealous search for the truth. Roland and the RMU panel pressed the evidence concerns, including the phone, possible deleted messages, chain of custody, and the sheriff’s premature “no foul play” posture. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #NolanWells #BenCrump #ChristineWonsley #ElmoreWonsley #JusticeForNolanWells #Mindset #Mindsetshift #MindShiftRevolution Black Star Network Partner: Chapter Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

Until every question is answered, this whole situation is suspicious. Too many things don’t add up, too many stories have changed, and there are still more questions than answers. Nobody can expect people to stop asking questions when the timeline and details don’t make sense. The truth always comes to light, and that’s all anyone is asking for. But I hope Mississippi don’t think Ben Crump and Al Sharpton is going to play with them! They will seek the truth.
