We're a little bit late because we had an audio issue. So let's hope it all works. So thanks for joining. Appreciate it. Um, I want to talk to you about. the Nolan Mull situation and we're gonna join we're joined by our legends. I don't know if you can see our legends now, but our legends are here. They're in the background and we're gonna join them in just moments, momentarily. Okay, there they are.
Hide legends. Hello legends. There they are. Welcome. Hello to our legends.
Okay, so um look, Nolan Wells autopsy is finally out, right? Remember everyone was worried about the state autopsy. They're out. The state medical examiner still cannot say how he died. No water was found in his lungs or airways. That's according to Uh the report. The report documents injuries to his head, yet his cause and manner of death remain undetermined. That finding does not rule out drowning, but it leaves Nolan's family. Well the question that no parents should have to keep asking is that what happened? They keep asking what happened, what happened? And people say, Oh, we have this and the evidence or whatever. Well, uh, here's attorney Lisa Parks, and she has more details. This is her at the press conference earlier.
No audio.
Um can someone tell a little audience? And no audio in the chat. Just give me a moment to troubleshoot that, Don.
So we will get Lisa's audio up in just a moment. And then uh there's Nolan's phone. Forensic experts hired by the family says messages were deleted after he last used it. A digital forensics expert says a content uh which may have included photos, videos, or messages were deleted from Snapchat on Nolan's phone. So who had access to the phone during the time before his parents got back? Who did it? They don't know. They want to find out that. Okay. They want to know when, where, can investigators ever recover them? As we now know, a grand jury decided not to bring charges. That is a legal decision. It's not an answer to every question in that autopsy. And Nolan's parents are still demanding those answers. So to help us unpack the autopsy, the phone evidence, and what happens after a grand jury declined to bring charges, I'm joined now by retired New York Supreme Court Judge Diane Keisel.
Dr. Frieda is here, a physician. And board certified in four specialties, and Kristen Clark, the general counsel of the NAACP and the former head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Thank you all for joining us.
How do the medical examiners explain the lack of water in Nolan’s lungs and airways?
Sorry about the little delay that we had. Dr. Fried, I want to join you. I want you to join us because you are the medical expert here. And I want to start with the autopsy. The state medical examiner found no water in Nolan's lungs or airways, documented injuries to his head. Dead and left both the cause and manner of death undetermined. What does it actually say? And what can it tell us, if anything? It seems like they're saying, well, it was we know it w it wasn't all these things, so it must be drowning, but then there's no water found in the lungs, the stomach, nor the throat. So what's up here?
What's up here is that according to the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's report. And according to the independent report, there is no evidence of drowning. This differs, quite frankly, from the grand jury conclusion, which said that the cause of death is likely drowning, playing a bit of semantics, saying it's a diagnosis of exclusion. However, if someone drowns, Nothing's one hundred percent, but you expect to see water in the lungs or water in the airway or water in the stomach or water in the sinuses, at least something, one thing, but it sounds like there was nothing. And so With that and in in conjunction with there being very clear blunt force trauma to the back of the head, bruises or contusions in the back, in the shoulder, it sounds like why are you saying that there's a diagnosis of exclusion, which means you ruled everything out, yet you haven't even determined why this young child had blunt force trauma?
