The attorney representing the family of an African American youth who went missing during a vessel voyage to an island off the coast of Mississippi on Independence Day has announced an intention to collaborate with the local prosecutor's office and commence a meticulous examination of data stored on his mobile device, as the investigation into the young man's cause of death continues.

ミシシッピ州沖の島嶼への独立記念日船舶航行中消息を絶ったアフリカ系アメリカ人青年遺族代理する弁護士は、同青年の死因調査が継続する中、地元検察局連携し彼の携帯端末保存されたデータ精査に着手する意向を表明した

The Nolan Wells family has previously contended that messages appeared to have been deleted from his mobile phone, a claim that constitutes one of a series of concerns regarding the circumstances of his death and the ensuing investigation.

ノーラン・ウェルズ家以前彼の携帯電話からメッセージ消去されたように見える主張しておりこれは彼の死の状況捜査に関する一連の懸念事項の一つである。

They met with District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath on Wednesday, primarily to deliberate on the investigative process.

彼らは水曜日に地区検事アンジェル・マイヤーズ・マキルラス面会し主として調査プロセスについて討議した

However, attorney Ben Crump stated that Prosecutor McIlrath also pledged to present the case to a grand jury upon the conclusion of the investigation.

しかしながら弁護士ベン・クランプは、マキルラス検事調査完了後大陪審提出すること約束したと述べた

We solicited a comment from District Attorney Makilrus's office, yet no response whatsoever was forthcoming.

"When this case is referred to a grand jury, I expect that all relevant witnesses and evidence will be presented, and that a fair and impartial investigation into the death of Mr. Nolan Wells will be conducted," Crump stated.

本件が大陪審に付託される際、全ての関連証人及び証拠が提出されノーラン・ウェルズ氏の死に関する公正かつ公平な調査が実施されることを期待するとクランプは述べた

"Given our empirical experience, we cannot help but harbor doubts regarding every event, the role of every individual, and the role of law enforcement.

我々の経験則に鑑みれば、全ての事象、全ての個人の役割そして法執行機関の役割について疑念を抱かざるを得ない

That is the reality of living as a Black person in America."

それがアメリカにおいて黒人として生きるという現実なのである。」

According to Ronald Rychlak, a professor of law at the University of Mississippi, virtually all felony cases in the state of Mississippi are destined to be referred to a grand jury.

ミシシッピ大学法学教授のロナルド・リクラック氏の見解によればミシシッピ州においてはほぼ全ての重罪事件が大陪審へと付託される運びとなる

A grand jury, typically composed of 15 to 25 citizens, bears the critical responsibility of scrutinising the evidence presented by the prosecution and determining whether sufficient grounds exist to justify an indictment.

大陪審は通常15名から25名の市民で構成され検察側が提示する証拠を精査し起訴を正当化するに足る証拠が存在するか否かを判断するという重要な責務を担っている

Wells crossed to the island with his friends, but when they departed around 3 p.m., he did not accompany them back.

ウェルズ君友人たちと共に島へ渡ったが、午後3時頃に彼らが離島する際同行して戻ることはなかった

Conflicting accounts have been presented as to whether he intended to remain on Horn Island (approximately 11 kilometers offshore) to converse with the girl, or whether he had planned to return with his friends.

彼がホーン島沖合約11キロに留まり、少女と会話する意図があったのか、それとも友人たちと共に帰還するつもりであったのかについては、相互に矛盾する説明が提示されている。

According to the authorities, this sand spit, extending approximately 17 kilometres in length, lies in close proximity to the Alabama state line and, being uninhabited, is accessible solely by boat; nevertheless, it has garnered widespread popularity as a venue for parties and social gatherings.

当局の見解によれば全長約17キロメートルに及ぶこの砂嘴アラバマ州境に近接しており無人島であるためボートでのみ到達可能であるものの、パーティーや社交的な集まりの場として広く人気を博しているとのことである。

Wells's mother filed a missing person report shortly after midnight on July 5.

ウェルズ君の母親7月5日午前0時過ぎ行方不明届を提出した

The following day, boats and rescue teams commenced a search, after which Wells's body was discovered in the waters adjacent to the island.

翌日ボートと救助隊捜索開始しその後ウェルズ君の遺体島近隣の水域発見された

Speculation and suspicion surrounding the adolescent's death proliferated online, compelling individuals to engage in profound reflection on the historical trajectory of racial tensions within the state and the implications of being Black in predominantly white spaces.

十代の若者の死をめぐる憶測と疑惑オンライン上で拡散し州における人種的緊張の歴史的経緯や、白人が多数を占める空間で黒人であることの意味について、人々は深く考察せざるを得なくなっている。

According to the family and their legal counsel, photographs and videos capturing the Independence Day festivities on the island, which drew approximately two hundred attendees, indicate that Mr. Wells was among the exceedingly few Black individuals present at the gathering.

家族と弁護士によれば約200名が集まった島での独立記念日の祝賀行事を収めた写真や動画から、ウェルズ氏はその場に居合わせた極めて少数の黒人の一人であったという

The Congressional Black Caucus also issued a statement on Wednesday, aligning itself with calls for an independent investigation into his death.

米国下院黒人議員連盟(Congressional Black Caucus)水曜日に声明を発表し彼の死に関する独立した調査を求める声に同調した

Authorities, including the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, promptly declared that no signs of foul play were evident in his death.

ジャクソン郡保安官部をはじめとする当局は、彼の死不正の兆候は認められないと即座に表明した

The official autopsy results have yet to be released, and authorities state that the investigation remains ongoing.

公式の解剖結果未だ公表されておらず、捜査継続中である当局述べている

The family's legal representatives, in conjunction with investigators from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, are urging witnesses and individuals possessing footage on the island to come forward voluntarily, as they seek information pertaining to the timeline leading up to Mr. Wells's disappearance and subsequent death.

家族の法定代理人ならびにジャクソン郡保安官部の捜査官は、ウェルズ氏の失踪および死亡に至るまでの時間軸に関する情報を求めて目撃者島内で映像を保有する者に対し、進んで名乗り出るよう要請している

Wells, who was to have turned 19 next month, was enrolled at Southwest Mississippi Community College and served as a wide receiver on the football team.

来月19歳を迎えるはずであったウェルズ君は、サウスウエスト・ミシシッピ・コミュニティカレッジに在籍しフットボールチームにおいてワイドレシーバーを務めていた

His family, citing his proficiency in swimming, is demanding a more exhaustive investigation and raising questions as to why his friends abandoned him and made off with his keys and mobile phone.

家族は、彼が泳力を有していたことからより徹底的な調査を要求しておりなぜ友人が彼を見捨て鍵と携帯電話を持ち去ったのかについて疑問を呈している

On the night of July 4th, the family, employing a location-tracking application to its fullest extent, retrieved Mr. Wells's mobile device from the residence of one of his friends.

7月4日の夜家族は位置情報アプリケーションを駆使し、友人の一人の住居からウェルズ氏の携帯端末を回収した

According to the family's account, although he was a frequent user of Snapchat, no trace of posts or messages was detected whatsoever over the approximately twenty-four hours preceding the retrieval.

家族の説明によれば、彼はSnapchatを頻繁に利用するユーザーであったものの回収に先立つ約24時間にわたって投稿やメッセージの痕跡は一切確認されなかったという。

Mr. Clamp had previously stated that he intended to enlist experts to ascertain whether it would be feasible to retrieve data from telephones and social media platforms.

クランプ氏は以前専門家を招聘し電話やソーシャルメディアからデータを復元することが可能か否かを判断する計画であると述べていた。

On Wednesday, he declared that the process would proceed in collaboration with investigators from the public prosecutor's office.

水曜日同氏はそのプロセスが検察局の捜査官との協力のもとで進行する言明した

Professor of law, Mr. Rikurakku, pointed out that the reciprocal verification of evidence between the police and the victims' families is not a common practice.

法学教授リクラック氏は、警察と被害者家族との間における証拠の相互検証一般的ではない指摘した

"Evidence is secured and is not ordinarily shared," stated Mr. Ricrac, adding that close collaboration between the family and the police could exponentially expedite the investigation.

証拠は確保され通常は共有されない」リクラック氏は述べ、家族と警察の緊密な連携が捜査を飛躍的に促進する可能性がある付言した

The death of Mr. Wells served as a catalyst for the unification of the Black community.

ウェルズ氏の死は、黒人コミュニティ結束させる契機となった

Tyler Perry, an actor and producer, has undertaken the financial responsibility for Mr. Wells's funeral expenses.

俳優兼プロデューサータイラー・ペリーは、ウェルズ氏の葬儀費用負担している

Colin Kaepernick, a former NFL quarterback, has contributed funds for an independent autopsy, while filmmaker Spike Lee attended a press conference last week in support of Mr. Wells's family.

元NFLクォーターバックコリン・キャパニックは、独立した解剖費用拠出しており映画監督スパイク・リー先週ウェルズ氏の家族支援する記者会見出席した

On Wednesday, Kristin Wonsley, the mother of young Wells, articulated her desire that the funeral, scheduled for Monday, serve as a tribute to her son's life.

ウェルズ君母親であるクリスティン・ウォンズリー水曜日月曜日執り行われる葬儀息子人生称えるものとしたいとの見解を表明した。

"He would never countenance our sitting in lamentation or indulging in gluttony.

彼は我々が座して慟哭しあるいは食に興じることを決して是としないであろう

Therefore, we intend to hold a banquet in his honour," she declared.

故に彼を称える饗宴を催す所存である」と彼女は述べた
