This episode discusses the case of Crossley Green, who was sentenced to death for the 1989 murder of Chip Flynn. Key topics include the 911 call made by Kim Halleck, the investigation led by Dianne Clark, and the evidence suggesting wrongful conviction.

In the early hours of April 4, 1989, Kim Halleck called 911, claiming her boyfriend Chip Flynn had been shot. However, she was three miles away from the crime scene and struggled to provide directions. Dianne Clark, a patrol sergeant, noted Halleck's unusual behavior as she refused to leave her car.

Upon arrival, officers found Flynn with his hands bound and a gun nearby. Despite being conscious and able to speak, he did not reveal who shot him before he died. The investigation led to Crossley Green being charged, with claims that race played a role in his wrongful conviction.

Mark Richt, a former deputy, described the chaotic scene and the lack of typical evidence. The episode highlights new evidence that suggests Green may be innocent, raising questions about the integrity of the investigation.

The discussion emphasizes the flaws in the case and the ongoing search for justice for both Flynn and Green, as the real killer remains unidentified.

TLDR

The episode examines Crossley Green's wrongful conviction for Chip Flynn's murder and the evidence suggesting he is innocent.

00:00:24
is a case of injustice that case began in the early morning hours of April 4th 1989 when a young woman called 9-1-1
00:00:34
saying she thought her boyfriend had been shot the problem was she was three miles away from the crime scene and she
00:00:42
had trouble telling police how to get there something was not right why would somebody say there's something
00:00:52
happening here and nothing's there all we had was that he had been shot and that he was in the orange groves I sent
00:01:01
a deputy to pick her up because we absolutely would never have found him it would have been there all night
00:01:05

00:01:32
behind his back the male victim was Chip Flynn he had a bullet wound was fought on the right side of his chest we have a
00:01:42

00:01:49

00:01:56

00:02:09
County Sheriff's Office all of a sudden his breathing got shallow all of a sudden you know he deteriorated

00:02:57
example of race being a substitute for evidence I didn't kill that young man that guy got screwed today 26 years
00:03:05
after Crossley Green was sentenced to death for the murder of chip Flynn I did not kill that young man there is
00:03:12
compelling new evidence that the wrong person may have been sent to prison and the killer is still free the first rule

of homicide investigation is everybody who is at that theme is treated as a suspect until they're eliminated that's
00:03:29
