89. Curtis Flowers and the Tardy Furniture Murders

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.Promo: Mysteries of the UnexplainedThank you to Keen for sponsoring the podcast!https://trykeen.com/truecrime You’ll only pay $1.99 for the first 10 minutes of your call with a Keen spiritual advisor!SOURCES:https://mscenterforjustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/001-Complaint-9-3-21-Flowers-v.-Evans.pdfhttps://murderpedia.org/male.F/f/flowers-curtis.htmhttps://murderpedia.org/male.F/images/flowers_curtis_g/Conv9858.pdfhttps://murderpedia.org/male.F/images/flowers_curtis_g/CO33400.pdfhttps://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=5808https://caselaw.findlaw.com/ms-supreme-court/1439558.htmlhttps://www.scotusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/17-9572-opinion-below.pdfhttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/ms-supreme-court/1878694.htmlhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5599337/carmen-rigbyhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/21362913/bertha-marie-tardyhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/33624749/robert-lee-goldenhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/21955089/derrick-everett-stewarthttps://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/batson_challenge#:~:text=Primary%20tabs,may%20be%20a%20new%20trial.https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/death-row-exoneree-curtis-flowers-sues-mississippi-prosecutor-who-prosecuted-him-six-timeshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/race-and-the-death-penalty-supreme-court-to-hear-case-of-curtis-flowers-tried-six-times-for-quadruple-murder/2019/03/15/0f0dd8ae-45bd-11e9-8aab-95b8d80a1e4f_story.htmlhttps://medium.com/@19aclark/the-case-of-curtis-flowers-innocent-or-guilty-ff80f653ab88https://meaww.com/curtis-flowers-tardy-furniture-murders-black-man-free-man-parchman-prison-leaves-six-trials-arresthttps://www.djournal.com/news/victims-son-disagrees-with-supreme-court-ruling-on-curtis-flowers/article_16438ce1-4c86-5054-928e-f7404d0eeb74.htmlhttps://heavy.com/news/2019/06/curtis-flowers/https://www.fox8live.com/2020/09/04/judge-drops-charges-against-curtis-flowers-tried-times-murder/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/03/03/curtis-flowers-wrongfully-imprisoned-compensation-mississippi-death-row/6908892002/https://www.wtva.com/content/news/Curtis-Flowers-got-married-Saturday-in-Grenada-574037021.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Flowershttps://www.actionnews5.com/2019/12/16/judge-holding-bond-hearing-man-tried-six-times-same-crime/https://triblive.com/news/world/curtis-flowers-defense-team-receives-human-rights-award/https://www.revolt.tv/2021/3/5/22315590/curtis-flowers-paid-500000-mississippi-wrongfully-imprisonedhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/curtis-flowers-mississippis-marked-manhttps://www.scarymommy.com/nfuriating-case-curtis-flowers/https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/12/16/curtis-flowers-bailhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/curtis-flowers-in-the-dark-60-minutes-2021-07-25/https://friendsofjustice.blog/2018/06/27/so-if-it-curtis-flowers-isnt-guilty-who-is/https://www.apmreports.org/story/2018/05/01/tardy-furniture-murders-what-happenedhttps://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2019/03/18/curtis-flowers-what-you-need-know-quadruple-homicide/3128793002/https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2018/08/02/curtis-flowers-innocent-pathologist-thinks-multiple-killers-behind-quadruple-murder/813262002/https://www.starherald.net/news-breaking-news-kosciusko-attala-county-state-front-page-slideshow/update-victim-families#sthash.bDV9kHfH.0E2iPZIl.dpbshttps://www.npr.org/2021/09/03/1034198690/curtis-flowers-mississippi-lawsuit-prosecutor-da-freed-prisonerhttps://www.starherald.net/breaking-news-kosciusko-attala-county-front-page-slideshow/rigby-tardy-furniture-victims-deserve#sthash.giAWsovP.xlUotvaM.dpbshttps://www.mebere.com/curtis-flowers-documentary-tardy-furniture-store-murders-victims-wife-nowhttps://www.wlox.com/2021/08/06/curtis-flowers-other-side-freedom/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/04/us/curtis-flowers-doug-evans.htmlhttps://www.wlbt.com/2020/01/16/out-bond-after-six-trials-whats-next-curtis-flowers/https://www.wlbt.com/2020/09/05/son-murder-victim-journalist-who-worked-flowers-case-react-decision-dismiss-case/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.Keep In Touch:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/reveriecrimepodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/reverietruecrimeTumblr: https://reverietruecrimepodcast.tumblr.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/reverietruecrimeContact: [email protected] Intro & Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_official
