The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal of a Black death row inmate from Mississippi whose case was handled by a prosecutor with a history of dismissing Black jurors for discriminatory reasons.

A Mississippi man freed after nearly 23 years in prison is suing the district attorney who prosecuted him six times in the killings of four people at furniture store.

The U.S. Supreme Court threw out the most recent conviction in June 2019, citing racial bias in jury selection. In June 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court tossed out the conviction and death sentence from Flowers sixth trial, which took place in 2010. Justices said prosecutors showed an unconstitutional pattern of excluding African American jurors in the trials of Flowers, who is Black. The Supreme Court ruling came after American Public Medias In the Dark investigated the case. Evans stepped aside from the case after State Attorney General Lynn Fitch took office in January.
