Friend, after a cycle of injustice spanning 24 years, six trials, and four death sentences… Curtis Flowers is free.
The results of investigative journalism can be enormously consequential. For Curtis Flowers, it is the difference between death row and freedom. Flowers' lawyer, Rob McDuff, had this to say when we talked with him in our latest episode:


"The dismissal of the charges today is the result, in part, of the work that you all have done with In the Dark, because of the evidence you found during your very, very detailed investigation. And it really raised the profile of the injustice in this case. It helped to provide the conditions for where we are today."

In the Dark is made by public media, so our work is possible because of you. Extraordinary journalism takes extraordinary resources.

Our reporting for Season 2 of In the Dark included…
-
Moving to Mississippi to live in the community and interview hundreds of people
- Talking to key witnesses who told us they lied under oath
- Questioning ballistics “science” used to convict Flowers that, in fact, wasn’t science at all
- Scanning 100,000 trial records from eight local courthouses
- Identifying an alternate suspect in the case and confronting him
- Illuminating a decades-long pattern of discrimination in jury selection by a district attorney It costs about $100,000 per episode to make In the Dark.

Gifts from you and other listeners are the most important part of our budget.
