Curtis Flower Murder Case in Mississippi

Curtis Flower has been tried six times for the death by shooting of four people in a Tardy furniture store back in 1996. The bodies of the four people were found by Sam Jones, an employee of the store. All of them were shot in the back of their head, execution-style while the money was also stolen from the register of the store.

It was said that Curtis was a previous employee of the furniture store and he was fired due to a mishap at work. The crime at the store had no witness at that time due to which the case was unsolved for months but later on, police charged Flowers with the murder. He was convicted and sentenced to death immediately in 1997, 1999, and 2004 where each of the cases was overturned by the Mississippi Supreme Court.
