Podcast Summary:
The second season of In the Dark explored the legal odyssey surrounding Curtis Flowers, who was accused of shooting four people to death inside Tardy Furniture, a Winona, Mississippi store, in July 1996. Flowers, who had worked at Tardy Furniture for only a few days and had long maintained his innocence, faced trial for the murders six times. The first five of those trials resulted in either hung juries or reversals on appeal. A sixth jury trial in 2010 ended with Flowers’ conviction on four counts of capital murder. Still, the United States Supreme Court remanded the case to a lower court to review racial bias in jury selection.
Heather’s Review:
The story behind this podcast is heartbreaking. It makes you question everything you know or hope about the justice system. I was instantly rooting for Curtis Flowers and hopeful that this podcast would help to reveal enough information to get him exonerated. I highly recommend In the Dark, Season 2.
I give In the Dark, Season 2 5 out of 5 stars.
