"The law allows innocent people to file lawsuits seeking to hold state officials accountable for misconduct leading to wrongful imprisonment. With this case, we hope to do just that, and to seek some redress for Curtis Flowers for the horrors he endured over more than two decades behind bars," said Kaitlyn Golden of Hogan Lovells.

Hogan Lovells, a global law firm, and the Mississippi Center for Justice on Friday filed a federal lawsuit against District Attorney Doug Evans and three investigators for misbehavior leading to the wrongful prosecution of Curtis Flowers.
Flowers, who was falsely accused of killing four people in a furniture store in Winona, Mississippi, in 1996, went through six capital murder trials and spent 23 years in prison before being exonerated last year.
