Movies 23yrs on DEATH ROW-Racist DA Convicts INNOCENT Man 6 Times

Six Trials 23 Yrs on DEATH ROW: Curtis Flowers Talks Justice with the Wilson Center

Curtis Flowers is a Mississippi man who was tried six times for the same crime and whose case was the subject of APM Reports podcast "In the Dark".

60 MINUTES 9 AUG 2021






He spent nearly 23 years behind bars and endured six trials and four death sentences for four murders he has always maintained he did not commit.


Four of the trials resulted in convictions, all of which were overturned on appeal.

Flowers' case was one of three that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June 2016 were to be remanded to lower courts to be reviewed for evidence of racial bias in jury selection.


He was finally freed in 2020 when the Mississippi Attorney General's Office dismissed indictments against him.

The Supreme Court sided with Curtis Flowers, a man who was tried six times for the same quadruple murder by the same prosecutor.


The justices ruled in favour of his jury discrimination case and tossed out his conviction;





Justice Kavanaugh wrote that the district attorney waged a "relentless, determined effort to rid the jury of black individuals."


Flowers participates in this event with his attorney, Henderson Hill, to discuss his years-long saga and the injustices of a system zeroed in on convicting him. The discussion is followed by a Q&A. The Wilson Center's Director Brandon Garrett moderates.
