    Such incredible impact from the extraordinary work journalists have done. 😭 Curtis Flowers has been in prison for 23 years and has been tried six times for the same crime, for which there is ample evidence he was not responsible.

    Circuit Judge Joey Loper granted Curtis Flowers' request for bail at a Monday morning hearing in Winona, Mississippi. Loper set bail in the amount of $250,000.

    WOW. A podcast produced in St. Paul played no small part in allowing a man who has been on death row for the past 20+ years out on bail... Flowers was convicted six times on evidence that included shifting witness statements from felons and murderers who had everything to gain.

    BREAKING: After 23 years behind bars, Curtis Flowers may soon — at least temporarily — walk free. The Flowers case was the subject of the second season of podcast.
