Evans quits the case


Doug Evans, the Mississippi district attorney who has tried Curtis Flowers six times for the same crime, has asked to be removed from the case.



In a court filing late Monday afternoon, Evans voluntarily recused himself from further prosecution of Flowers. He asked District Judge Joey Loper to assign the case to the Mississippi Attorney General's office.



"While I remain confident in both the investigation and the jury verdicts in this matter, I have come to the conclusion that my continued involvement will prevent the families from obtaining justice and from the defendant being held responsible for his actions," Evans wrote in the filing.
