It’s a shame that a case like this had to get all the way up to the highest court to get this travesty fixed, one must wonder how did the lower courts get it so wrong. This is so disturbing
Absolutely! And Doug Evans (the prosecutor) should be the one now languishing in jail. The lies he told, the evidence he kept out, the “witnesses” he (more or less) blackmailed, is all extremely disturbing!!
A wise judge once said, one can indict a ham sandwich, in this case one can see one can also obtain a conviction against a ham sandwich if one plays these crooked games like Crooked prosecutor Doug Evans did for so many years in this case and most likely in many other cases.
It’s so heartbreaking that Mr Flowers mum never got to see her son released. This case absolutely broke my heart, but it also made me furious. The POS prosecutor (Doug Evans), is nothing short of evil, and should be rotting in prison till he takes his last breath. Not only did he strike black jurors (for no other reason other than their skin colour), but he hid/lost a multitude of evidence, lied profusely, blackmailed (more or less) “witnesses” and refused to pursue the much more likely killer. The man is, quite simply, disgusting!!
So this was about not having enough solid evidence of bias, based on Batson and other standards, but a enough different elements of example could be established. Am I correct?
Why don’t juveniles get jury’s on cases because they get messed over too by prosecutors judges detectives public defenders probation and they were all white. Is Braxon considered bias on a trial we feel and know was a set up trial a very concerned mother I’m in need of caring defense lawyers who know how to defend and know what they looking at up against. I feel my child was dealt my with a untrustworthy juvenile court judges and all a prosecutor that deliberately kept holding the courts up with delays to make him guilty of a crime he never committed in the first place now our lives are ruined and I don’t know who to turn to considering most of the lawyers down here don’t respond or care. Thank you they hurt innocent children down here for conviction rates instead of dignity and honorable status.

Thank you Georgetown Law for posting this video.

For more details on the case, I highly recommend Season 2 of the In The Dark podcast.
agreed
Read from 1996 the entire case is online. Podcast coverage was spot on.

Prosecutors have way too much unchecked power, they are actually the main cause for most of the wrongful conviction cases

Juvenile Court does not have the same standards vs Criminal Court burden of proof.
Juvenile Court: youth can have a GAL and/or Child Attorney.
