Curtis Flowers, a Mississippi man who was tried six times by the same prosecutor for the murder of four people, was granted bail on Monday, NPR reports. Flowers’ conviction in his sixth trial was overturned earlier this year by the U.S. Supreme Court, which found the prosecution had unconstitutionally excluded black jurors from the trial. After 22 years on death row, Flowers’ bail was set at $250,000 and he will be required to wear an electric monitor. His legal team said they will move for dismissal of all charges in the new year, while Mississippi District Attorney Doug Evans, who prosecuted all six trials, hasn’t said if he’ll try Flowers for a seventh time.
