89. Curtis Flowers and the Tardy Furniture Murders


Listen Later

Curtis Flowers was taken into custody and convicted in 1997 for the quadruple murders that happened inside the Tardy Furniture store in Winona, Mississippi in 1996. The circumstantial evidence was weak but prosecutor Evans was damned and determined to get Curtis executed. Curtis was put on trial SIX times! He maintained his innocence and fought for over 20 years for his freedom.
