Mississippi will pay wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate Curtis Flowers just $500,000 after he was jailed for more than 20 years and white prosecutor rebuked by Supreme Court for racial bias tried him SIX times for the same crime
Mississippi Circuit Judge George Mitchell ordered Curtis Flowers, 50, be compensated $50,000 for each year he was in jail, under state law
But since the 2009 law is not retroactive, Flowers will only be compensated for the 10 years he was imprisoned since its passage
Flowers was sentenced to death in 2010 for a quadruple shooting inside a furniture store in Winona, Mississippi, in 1996
The victims were store owner Bertha Tardy, 59, and three employees, Carmen Rigby, 45, Robert Golden, 42, and Derrick Stewart, 16
Curtis Flowers, wrongfully incarcerated for 23 years, will get maximum compensation, judge says
