Nolan Wells' DA Waited A Month To Ask For His Phone

DA Angel Myers McIlrath has subpoena power. She could have compelled Nolan Wells' phone the day after July 15, when her office and the family agreed to a joint forensic examination. She didn't. A month passed with no date set and no forensic protocol drafted. Then on August 12, her office sent the family a letter with a 44-hour deadline to deliver the phone to her office, not the community college lab both sides had agreed on. Nolan's parents were in Atlanta at the time. They weren't scheduled to return before the deadline. The family's attorneys called the timeline bad faith and fired back: pick any day between August 18 and 21, we're ready, our experts are on standby. On August 19, McIlrath released a public statement saying she doesn't have the freedom to share information the way private individuals can. She said public commentary doesn't make the speaker transparent and that things said in public aren't necessarily true. She said filling the information void would only take pressure off her and that Nolan deserves better. The DA who said Nolan deserves better hasn't compelled the phone that could give him answers. She has the authority. She drafted the weakest possible demand, sent it while the family was out of state, and then asked the public for patience. Six weeks after his body was found, the most important piece of evidence in this case hasn't been examined.
