    Are those jurors still alive? I imagine they're feeling that guilt today.

      The two men (Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam) who actually killed Emmett are sadly no longer alive (I say sadly as in it’s sad for Emmett’s case and his lack of justice) but since it’s believed up to 12 people have been involved as of 2004 when that new light came out at least 5 of those 12 people are believed to be alive(of course now in 2021 it’s possible they’re not)
