Grand jury finds no criminal charges warranted in Nolan Wells's death

The grand jury reviewing the evidence in the death of Nolan Wells has found that no criminal charges are warranted at this point, according to the Jackson County Grand Jury Report released late Monday night. The report says that the position of, condition of, time of discovery, and location of the 18-year-old's body off the coast of Mississippi this July is consistent with drowning. Wells vanished after he and friends had gone out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday on barrier islands off the Gulf Coast. His body was recovered in the waters off Horn Island two days later. Authorities have previously said they believe the college football player drowned, but the final determination would go to a grand jury that would review all the case materials, including the state medical examiner's completed autopsy report, to decide whether Wells' death involved a crime. Jackson County Sheriff's Department - PHOTO: The Jackson County Sheriff's Department released this photo during the search for Nolan Xavier Wells, 18, in Mississippi. The grand jury of 23 people, convened last week, found no credible evidence to support the public allegations that anyone riding to or from the island that day surrounding Wells engaged in any criminal conduct related to his death. The panel was comprised of what the report called a cross section of citizens from the area: 13 men and ten women, including 12 Caucasians, five African Americans, one Asian, two Hispanics, two Native Americans, and one individual who preferred 'other.' Their ages ranged from 27 years old to 68 years old. The grand jury heard from 43 witnesses and reviewed materials including physical evidence collected at the scene, digital evidence, police reports and interviews, videos, images and maps collected during the investigation. That Wells drowned is a conclusion by the process of elimination, the grand jury report said, adding that the condition of the body made it harder to figure out. The long-awaited toxicology report was not particularly informative as decomposition fluid is an unreliable source for evaluating substance levels within a body. The panel found, however, that Wells had no cocaine in his system and no evidence he'd ever used it. The panel did find that Wells bought alcohol with a fake ID, and no adults of alcohol-buying age provided any to him on the island that day. Courtesy of the Wells Family - PHOTO: An undated photo of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, whose body was believed to be recovered after going missing on July 4, 2026. Witnesses told authorities Nolan Wells had 'heavy' alcohol intake: Preliminary info There was bruising on the back of Wells' head, which was not a fatal injury, the report said. The grand jury found no evidence of any fatal injury or organic disease to Mr. Wells' body. The report said it's still unclear how Wells got that bruise on his head. One witness testified under oath that around the time of his last being seen, they saw Wells slip awkwardly off the side of a boat but could not say whether Mr. Wells struck his head during the fall, and that he continued to socialize after the fall and did not appear injured. The Grand Jury finds that Mr. Wells was not in any physical altercation or argument on July 4, 2026, the report said. Nolan Wells' private autopsy says cause, manner of death 'undetermined pending investigation' Much of the report also addresses the sudden deluge of national attention in the wake of Wells' death, as well as the online speculation and even interstate threats the pending investigation has garnered. Addressing unanswered questions about Wells' phone, which was retrieved later from friends on the mainland after he went missing, the report said the panel found it is not unusual or suspicious for individuals to return from the island on boats they did not travel to the island on; nor is it unusual for individuals to place their phones and personal items on other boats they visit and socialize on. The Grand Jury finds that Mr. Wells' phone was not the only phone to travel back to the mainland without its owner. The public clamor and malicious allegations against the occupants of the three boats on which Wells and his friends went to the island have extended to their family members and friends, and that the public attacks are malicious, false, and have no truth in fact or evidence, the report said. The report said Wells' family was given the opportunity to produce evidence from their private investigation into Wells' death and the family's lawyers advised that their investigation revealed no witnesses or evidence whom the legal team reasonably believes possess information germane to potential criminal activity that warrants referral. The report also noted that there is no statute of limitations on homicide cases in the State of Mississippi. If credible evidence comes to light in the future that suggests Mr. Wells' death was non-accidental, this matter should be represented to the Jackson County Grand Jury for further consideration, the report said.

US Networks Boycott Trump Coverage, He Responds With 'Trump TV'

US television networks staged an extraordinary revolt Monday when they effectively boycotted coverage of President Donald Trump in protest at his decision to ban three leading outlets from the White House. CNN, MS NOW and Politico also went to court after Trump on Friday ordered them to be barred, as the 80-year-old Republican stepped up his years-long assault on the US media. In a rare move, the top five US broadcasters said on Monday that they were halting pool coverage of the White House -- where a broadcaster films on behalf of all television outlets for the day -- in solidarity with CNN. CNN had been scheduled to serve Monday as the White House TV pool. The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organisation because it objects to its reporting, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC said in a statement. The move means there will be no television coverage of Trump's trip on Monday to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he was due to meet a series of foreign leaders.

Trump makes unusual visit to New York Mayor Mamdani's residence

Digital Desk | New York, Sep 22 (IANS) Donald Trump made an unusual visit for a sitting president to the official residence of the city's mayor for a meeting with Zohran Mamdani. The visit, marked by bonhomie, came as a surprise on Monday because Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist, while Trump has made attacks on socialists a running theme of his campaign for Republican candidates in the midterm elections. And Mamdani had called Trump a fascist. It was Trump's first appointment in the city after he arrived there for the United Nations high-level week. After their meeting, Trump praised Mamdani, saying he was off to a good start and was going to be a great mayor. The populists from the two ends of the political spectrum appear to have hit it off despite their ideological differences and their belligerent bases, and this was the first time in 44 years a president has visited the city's mayor at his residence. They appeared to have bonded over their interest in building structures. Mamdani has proposed a massive housing complex with 12,000 housing units built on top of a rail yard. What were talking about is something very rare in our city; its the possibility of constructing an entirely new neighbourhood, Mamdani said at their news conference. He said it would require federal assistance. Recognising the nationwide housing shortage, Trump has proposed plans to ameliorate it. Mamdani said that he aired his opposition to Trump's policies, including the immigration crackdown and the withdrawal of temporary immigration status given to people from countries in turmoil like Haiti. I shared my very strong opinions about how we can keep New Yorkers safe, how we can keep immigrant New Yorkers safe, Mamdani said. Trump said Mamdani felt very strongly about the issue. Despite their differences, Trump, a native New Yorker, said he had seen umerous different mayors ... some great ones and some not so great ones. I'll be able to say youre going to be a great one, and youre off to a start, he said. A reporter asked Mamdani about Trump banning reporters from CNN and MS Now networks, and Politico news outlet. He said, I told the president that were going to have all of the members of the press here on the lawn and that is something that I believe in. Pointing to the presence of the media, Trump said, It's interesting 'cause they said they were gonna boycott me, but they never boycott me. So, I wasn't very worried about that. Look at all that press. He accused the media of propagating fake news and said he had an obligation to keep them out. Mamdani and Trump had earlier met in February at the White House, which was also marked by surprising friendliness. According to Politico, true to his socialist roots, Mamdani was scheduled to meet Bernie Sanders, the leftist senator and vehement critic of Trump, who has been like a mentor to him. The mayor's 15-room residence set on 4.5 hectares along the East River is officially known as Gracie Mansion. Trump, who has an eye for decor and architecture, called it a beautiful place and had said earlier on Truth Social that he had visited the mansion several times before becoming president.
