Alkebulanians,
I break down why the Nolan Wells case out of Mississippi belongs to every African, not filed away as an American story.
An 18 year old goes on a Fourth of July boat trip with friends, turns up dead, and what follows is a jurisprudence disaster: a sealed autopsy, a body returned without throat and neck structures, a sheriff declaring no foul play within days, alleged friends lawyered up inside 48 hours, and a Give Send Go raising six figures for themselves while people question why the Wells family raises anything at all.

I go through the distress call audio nobody wants to engage with, the eyewitness claims arriving late, Officer Brandon Tatum, the Carmelo Anthony sentencing, Cyrus Carmack Belton, and why this may eclipse O.J. in cultural weight.
I connect it to the Benin Punitive Expedition, to Afrobeats stars borrowing Black American style, to how Washington will one day talk about Nigeria and Ghana.
When a precedent this flagrant is set, what protects any of us?
