Curtis Flowers, a Mississippi man who's been tried 6 times for a 1996 quadruple murder, was released on bail Monday, court documents show.
In a statement, Flowers' attorney Rob McDuff said Flowers' legal team would seek to have the charges dismissed next month.
"We are very pleased that he will finally have some measure of freedom and be able to spend time with his wonderful family," McDuff said, adding:"This has been a long and costly process, and there is no need to continue wasting taxpayer money on this misguided prosecution that has been plagued by misconduct and racial discrimination.
