In April 1989, a young man named Chip Flynn was shot in an orange grove in Florida. The only surviving witness, Flynn’s ex-girlfriend Kim Hallock, claimed that a black man was the culprit. A year later, Crosley Green was sentenced to death by an all-white jury for the murder. After 32 years behind bars, a judge ruled that Green was wrongly convicted — so why is he still in prison?
“48 Hours” correspondent Erin Moriarity has spent the past 25 years following Green’s controversial case, delving into inconsistencies — from coerced confessions to allegations of a racial hoax — that call into question the integrity of the verdict. Of all the cases Moriarty has taken on, she says this is the one that has troubled her the most.
