Curtis Flowers, Freed After 22 Years in Prison, Dies at 56

Curtis Flowers died Wednesday at his Mississippi home at 56, his family said through lawyer Rob McDuff. He spent over 22 years in prison, including time awaiting execution, for the 1996 killings of four people at a furniture store. The nation's highest court threw out his guilty verdict in 2019; Mississippi dismissed the case in 2020. No cause was given.
