Curtis Flowers sues District Attorney Doug Evans
Curtis Flowers — the Mississippi man who endured six trials, four death sentences and nearly 23 years behind bars before charges against him were dropped — is suing the prosecutor and investigators he believes are responsible for his ordeal.
Attorneys for Flowers filed a lawsuit on Friday in federal court in Mississippi against District Attorney Doug Evans. The suit also names John Johnson, a former investigator for the district attorney’s office, along with Jack Matthews and Wayne Miller, who worked on the case for the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
The suit accuses Evans and the other defendants of concocting a murder case against Flowers that violated his rights under the Fourth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, and sections of the Mississippi Constitution. Flowers seeks damages from each of the defendants and "further relief as the Court deems equitable and just."
