Clear & Convincing - Episode 2 - State of Mississippi v. Curtis Giovanni Flowers

On July 16, 1996,  Bertha Tardy, Carmen Rigby, Robert Golden and Derrick Stewart were shot during a suspected armed robbery of Tardy Furniture in Winona, Mississippi.  Ms. Tardy, Ms. Rigby and Mr. Golden were dead when police arrived.  Sixteen year old Derrick Stewart died six days later at a hospital in Jackson, Mississippi.  A former employee, Curtis Flowers, became a suspect due to his troubled history at Tardy Furniture and his inconsistent statements regarding his whereabouts on the morning of the murders.  Several witnesses placed Flowers near the crime scene that morning and, shortly after the murders were discovered, his uncle reported a gun stolen from his vehicle that morning.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, March 10, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. Central for State of Mississippi v. Curtis Giovanni Flowers.  We’ll talk about the murders at Tardy Furniture, the evidence against Flowers, the prior trials and the U.S. Supreme Court decision that vacated his sixth conviction.  We’ll also talk about Flowers’ successful bail request, recusal of the original prosecutor, appointment of a new attorney and allegations of Flowers’ actual innocence.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.
