Considering Germany is pulling 101 year old Nazis into court, I don't think age is/should be a barrier. It's simply whether people are willing to confront the very feminine history of lynch mobs and how they were mostly co-ordinated by women off accusations made by other women.
It's not that hard to believe that a woman lied about this sort of thing. I mean...they still do it now. 67 fucking years later.
It's a bit weird that it's not on tape, but not really surprising. She probably confessed before it could be recorded so she could finally admit it (a form of duper's delight) now that she's pretty much immune from consequences.
She wasn't even the one who reported it and spread the story. She feared her husband finding out because she thought he would do something stupid (like lynching a black kid).
