A black man, Flowers is accused of capital murder in the killing of four people inside a furniture store in Winona, Mississippi. Judge Joseph Loper set Flowers' bail at $250,000. The Mississippi Supreme Court overturned Flowers' first three convictions, two of which resulted in death sentences, and his next two trials ended in hung juries. "Equal justice under law requires a criminal trial free of racial discrimination in the jury selection process," Kavanaugh said, citing the words inscribed on the Supreme Court building's facade. It also has declined to respond to motions requesting bail, Evan's disqualification and the indictment's dismissal, he said.
