Summary
On a dark night in April 1989, a young man named Chip Flynn was shot in a Florida orange
grove. His ex-girlfriend Kim was the only surviving witness and claimed a Black man had
robbed, kidnapped, and killed Chip. A year later, Crosley Green was sentenced to death by an
all-white jury for Flynn's murder. After 32 years behind bars, a judge ruled Green was wrongfully
convicted — so why is he still in prison? Here’s a preview of the new “48 Hours” podcast,
“Murder in the Orange Grove: The Troubled Case Against Crosley Green” which offers the most
comprehensive deep dive into this shocking case that leaves one man fighting desperately for
his freedom. "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty has followed this controversial case for 25
years, delving into inconsistencies — from coerced confessions to allegations of a racial hoax
— that challenge the integrity of the verdict. You can hear the rest of this episode by searching
