Roy and his brother Millam were later taken to court to be judged. Their court day was in September of 1955. They were tried by a whole white trial, and, as a result, they were acquitted from Emmett's kidnapping and murder. Later on, in 1956, they shared their story with Look magazine and were protected because of double jeopardy. Milam then confessed that he murdered Emmett, but he didn't feel remorse for it because he didn't see anything wrong with killing the young man. As a result of their interview, many Blacks stopped going to their stores and they went bankrupted due to their lack of customers. Roy later lived a private life and married a second time. At the age of 63, he died of cancer. Throughout his private life, he denied killing Emmett. However, he did say that Emmett would've lived if he had stayed in line.
