On Wednesday, Memphis resident and “Memphis Truth Commission” blogger Fergus Nolan attended a scheduling hearing in a case filed by two local women claiming civil-rights violations on the part of Shelby County, the City of Memphis, and three assistant prosecutors after they were falsely arrested in 2017.

After their respective arrests in January 2017, Celitria Watson and April Malone were able to prove they were falsely accused of taking part in a conspiracy to funnel drugs into a penal facility.  Unbeknownst to them at the time, their texts and emails with Kendrick Watson, then in the Shelby County jail, were collected and altered by unknown parties who have not been prosecuted criminally.

The alteration of the texts made it appear at first glance that Malone and Watson were communicating with Kendrick Watson, Celitria’s brother, about the dates, timing and coordination of drug shipments when in fact, their texts were innocuous in nature.
