What does it really mean when a Black man in America can be dragged through the courts not once, not twice, but six times for the same crime—with no solid evidence and no real justice?

This week, we’re diving deep into the story of Curtis Flowers, a man from Mississippi who spent over two decades fighting for his freedom after being accused of a 1996 murder he always said he didn’t commit.


This isn’t just another true crime case—it’s a mirror held up to the system. The same system that let prosecutors play dirty while pretending to play fair. The same system that stacked all the odds against a man who never stood a chance in their eyes. And the same system that needed a podcast—not the courts—to finally shed light on the truth and help set Curtis free.


We get into how this all happened, why it matters, and what it tells us about being Black and caught up in a machine that was never built to protect us. If you’ve ever side-eyed the so-called justice system, if you know how exhausting it is to be seen as guilty until proven innocent, or if you just want to hear a story that will stay with you long after the episode ends—press play.
