Friend,

Last week, our latest episode of In the Dark revealed three more significant developments that could change the case against Curtis Flowers.


It's been 19 days since the U.S. Supreme Court voted 7-2 to overturn Flowers' conviction. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the dissent, in part saying, " … perhaps the Court granted certiorari because the case has received a fair amount of media attention.” He added that “ … the media often seeks to titillate rather than to educate and inform.” I am honored and humbled to say that our reporting has reached and informed millions of listeners like you about the injustice evident in Flowers’ case.

And at a time when the legitimacy of the media is being questioned, it’s critical to recognize the difference the free press can make … not only to one person, but to a democracy that requires transparency.

It costs about $100,000 per episode to make In the Dark. We hire journalists with experience and integrity, ones like Parker Yesko. Parker bravely withstood a hostile confrontation with an initial suspect in the case. She spent weeks scanning hundreds of thousands of court documents that revealed a critical fact about how the district attorney picked juries. And she also listened with compassion to a woman tearfully recanting key testimony against Flowers.

Your support makes the rigorous work by Parker and the rest of our team possible. Please help us cover our costs by donating what you can.
