Roy Bryant & his half-brother J. W. Milam
The main suspects in the murder of Emmett Till were Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam. They were acquitted by an all-white jury in a trial that attracted national attention and highlighted the racial injustices of the time.
Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American boy, was brutally murdered in 1955 in Mississippi after being accused of whistling at a white woman. His death sparked outrage and became a catalyst for the civil rights movement in the United States. Till's killers were acquitted by an all-white jury, highlighting the systemic racism and injustice present in the Jim Crow South.
The possessive form of the plural noun "suspects" is "suspects'".
At a murder scene, evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, weapons, bloodstains, clothing fibers, and surveillance footage can be found. Additionally, other items like footprints, hair, tire tracks, and any potential trace evidence can be crucial in identifying suspects and building a case.
An apostrophe means one of two things - either you're leaving out some letters (like can't means cannot or doesn't means does not) or you are indicating possession. If you put an apostrophe after the word suspects, you get suspects' which means "belonging to the suspects." An example sentence would be something along the lines of "The suspects' belongings are at the police desk."
Al Dewey observes the bloodstains, footprints, and other evidence at the crime scene, which provide clues for tracking down the suspects. The bloodstains can be analyzed for DNA evidence, footprints can be matched with suspects' shoes, and other trace evidence can link the suspects to the scene, ultimately aiding in their capture.
