After 6 Trials, Mississippi AG Finally Drops Charges Against Man In Prison For 23 Yrs




"What it took for Curtis Flowers, a Black man who spent some 23 years behind bars, to have charges dropped against him: six trials plagued by prosecutor misconduct, multiple overturned convictions, and a dogged investigation by a podcast into a quadruple murder at a Mississippi furniture store. Now, more than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Flowers' latest conviction, prosecutors have decided to stop pursuing the case. In their filing, prosecutors wrote that there were no credible witnesses for an unprecedented seventh trial, effectively putting to bed a decades-long pursuit of Flowers for the 1996 slayings in the small city of Winona, Miss. "As the evidence stands today, there is no key prosecution witness that incriminates Mr. Flowers who is alive and available and has not had multiple, conflicting statements in the record"

Just in case some folks are not aware -- there are folks out there who are not just protesting against police shooting unarmed citizens -- they are also protesting against the gross injustice, corruption and inequity that exists in our judicial system..Mr. Flowers was lucky enough to gain the attention of legendary attorneys like Ron Kuby and investigators like Ira Todd -- but there are tons of others who aren't so lucky -- and are rotting in jail due to prosecutors like Doug Evans....

Doug Evans, the guy who prosecuted Flowers in all 6 trials, the guy who the Mississippi Supreme Court said "this case presents us with as strong a prima facie case of racial discrimination as we have ever seen" ...the guy who even Justice Brett Kavanaugh said "it looks as though [Evans] is designing, trying to create a record for striking black jurors.” -- on top of that, this prosecutor withheld evidence, paid informants to lie, etc, etc etc -- and he has not faced any consequences whatsoever...

However, Doug Evans is not as rare as we would like to believe...a report on prosecutorial misconduct cited 660 cases of prosecutorial misconduct in the past 5 years -- and out of all of those cases; only one prosecutor was disciplined....it aint just policing on the streets that we should be demanding accountability from -- the same goes for the courts too....unless all of that constitutional talk about equal protection under the law is just bullshit you don't really mean...
So another black murderer gets to walk because of “social justice”.

All forensic evidence and witnesses put him at the scene of the crime, as well as motivation. He was fired from this store, he was seen there the morning of, bloody tracks were the same shoe size and make of shoes he was known to have, and the bullet type matched the handgun that was stolen from his own uncle. He was guilty.

Yet he is let go because the prosecutor didn’t want biased blacks on the jury, even though it’s proven many blacks are incapable of being impartial (anyone remember OJ?). In one of the trials a black woman lied to get on the jury and tried to acquit.

Another example of black privilege in America, you can murder whiteys and get away with it. With the way things are now, I doubt any black jury would ever convict a black murderer even if there was video of it.
Another moron who has no idea what he is talking about.....
Another lame post by Biffy who can’t refute the points, all he can do is whine.
There is no physical evidence that tied him to the scene.....there is no eye-witness testimony...no murder weapon....and lastly, we have a Supreme Court decision that threw the conviction out -- but as usual with dic suckers like yourself -- the black guy is always guilty......

It must suck to be a fragile insecure cuck such as yourself -- so all you have left is hate....hope you drown in it
The Supreme Court did not overturn it because they thought he was innocent. It was because of procedural bullshit and it still allows for another trial to happen.

In fact there is zero evidence the perp is “innocent”.
"we have a Supreme Court decision that threw the conviction out"

What part of that statement isn't true??

No one said the Supreme court said he was innocent -- I said they overturned the conviction.....and the Miss AG dismissed charges......the fact you are butt-hurt about it aint my concern.....take your anger to that flaming "liberal" Lynn Fitch.....she is the AG ain't she?

You’re the one claiming there is no evidence of his guilt, as though that is why it was thrown out. That is 100% false. There is plenty of evidence of his guilt. He never got a not guilty verdict.
 
The sad thing is that justice for those who were murdered may not ever take place now. We won't know if the man who has been in jail for the crime all of this time is really the guilty one until he goes and commits the crime that he was in there for now that he is out here with the rest of us again.

God bless you and him and the families of the victims always!!!

The sad thing is that people like you think that the prosecution had 23 years to make a case and think that there is no problem there.

The sadder thing is that apparently the authorities were not looking for the real criminals for 23 years. The trail might be cold by now.
I second this. May the man be given a restitution package, that will give him the incentive to fly right if he was flying wrong before this all took place.

God bless you and him always!!!
