friends call her a 'beacon of justice.'

'A CNN and MSNBC Legal Analyst, Midwin Charles lost the battle of life on Tuesday, April 6. Her family announced through her Instagram and Twitter handles. The reason for her death is not known for now.

The news came to light after Charles's Twitter account posted a message saying, "It is with a profoundly heavy heart and the deepest sadness that we announce the untimely passing of our beloved Midwin Charles. She was known to many as a legal commentator on television but to us, she was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, niece and cousin. Our lives are forever changed and we will miss her for a lifetime. The family thanks you in advance for your love and prayers. Please allow the family time to grieve. The Family of Midwin Charles."


Several people who were close to her started tweeting about Charles. While some called her a "brilliant and beautiful mother" others titled her as a "beacon of justice", paying tribute to the late attorney.'

It was reported that she'd been ill and cancelled her last appearance March 19, but nothing since then.

It is hard not to wonder if COVID took her. If so, I hope the family will eventually say so as there are so many refusing vaccinations right now and that could help motivate those who followed her as the role model she was.

Ordinarily, I would not speculate. But these are not ordinary times.

RIP
