Curtis Flowers, who previously worked at the store, was charged with four counts of capital murder. Even though no physical evidence linked him to the crime, District Attorney Doug Evans used coerced and incentivized witnesses and racially discriminatory jury selection to send Curtis to Death Row. When his conviction was overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct, DA Evans continued with the same tactics for 5 more trials over the next 23 years. It took the Supreme Court, the Mississippi Attorney General's office, and a podcast called In The Dark to set him free.\r\n\r\nWrongful Conviction: Junk Science - Gunshot Residue Evidence released on October 7, 2020:\r\nhttps://www.wrongfulconvictionpodcast.com/podcast/s12e2-wrongful-conviction-junk-science-gunshot-residue-evidence\r\n\r\nLearn more and get involved at: \r\nhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/curtis-flowers\r\nhttps://features.apmreports.org/in-the-dark/season-two/\r\nhttps://www.wrongfulconvictionpodcast.com/with-jason-flom\r\n\r\nWrongful Conviction with Jason Flom is a production of Lava for Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co No1."}
