Flowers v. Mississippi
black man in mississippi has been tried SIX times over the span of 20 years for the same murder by the same prosecutor in front of the same judge.
if i get this correctly:
1st time- conviction reversed because of misconduct
2nd time- conviction reversed because racially motivated jury selection
3rd time- conviction reversed because racially motivated jury selection
4th time- hung jury
5th time- hung jury-- JUDGE arrests the lone african american juror that said not guilty and threatens to arrest defendants lawyer
6th time- conviction on appeal due to racially motivated jury selection
oh and ofcourse that isn't even getting to the shadyness that has gone on with the case.. they have only ever investigated one person. they have relied on jail snitches about confessions that have been recanted. there is a gun that was sent to them by "someone" and it matched, and has since "gone missing"..
