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.
Flowers, who is now 50, commemorated the dismissal Friday in a statement issued through his attorneys. Flowers had been accused of the July 1996 shooting deaths of Tardy Furniture owner Bertha Tardy as well as employees Carmen Rigby, Robert Golden and Derrick Stewart. Flowers, who had briefly worked at the store, had no prior criminal record and has maintained his innocence. Local prosecutor Doug Evans pursued Flowers as the prime suspect, taking him to trial six times. Four of those trials ended in conviction. Two of them ended in mistrials.
We have to be ashamed for him as Mr Evans clearly can’t do it for himself.
It’s time for Flowers to sue.
This will continue to happen until police and prosecutors are held personally liable -- both criminally and civilly -- for egregious misconduct.
Y'all should have a problem with the way Flynn is being treated as well.
No SURPRISED, but am EXTREMELY happy for Mr. Flowers.
Takes six trials to find a Black man innocent. Aint that peculiar.
About time
The Prosecutor needs to be prosecuted
FINALLY! and how much of his life has been destroyed?
