Summary
On May 16, 2004, a man walked into Jerry's Flower Shop looking for flowers for his mother. As Cynthia McDermid reached down to grab something under the counter for the man, she rose to see a gun four inches from her face and heard demands for cash from the register. Her brother, Randy, Came from the back to see what was going on. As Randy confronted the gunman, Cynthia ran out of the shop to the sound of two gunshots. That would be the last time she would see her brother alive. It would also put an end to an innocent childhood of Marvin Haynes, a child who lived in the neighborhood who had nothing to do with the crime, but had a warrant out for his arrest and cops and prosecutors who were frustrated that they didn't have a suspect!
Marvin Haynes joins TCT to explain how the justice system wrongly fingered him for the crime, his treatment over 19 years, and how he eventually found the Great North Innocence Center and eventual exoneration!

| 0:00.0 | And the Welcome into the best in True Crime Podcasting. This is True Crime Tuesday. I'm your host Tim Dennis. |
| 0:30.0 | I have a pretty amazing show for you guys today and I'm quite proud to bring it to you. |
| 0:36.0 | Now I'll tell you in Minnesota, Minneapolis, I think the nation was shocked by the George Floyd killing. I know I was. I was taken |
| 0:48.4 | back by it. But you know what? In Minneapolis, it wasn't, I mean it was shocking it was a shocking killing but |
| 0:55.4 | but in our African American community it wasn't a shock at all in fact when you |
| 1:01.4 | talk to people in our African American community, they would say, you know, |
| 1:08.0 | this is something that was coming to a head for a long time. |
| 1:12.0 | They would tell you that Minneapolis police force |
| 1:16.0 | had been quite brutal to them for quite some time. |
| 1:20.0 | Now, I can almost hear eyes rolling in the white community in Minnesota. I want to assure you |

| 1:56.8 | And he did nothing. He was an upstanding citizen in Minnesota, took good care of his family, did nothing that warranted any type of |
| 2:10.5 | interaction negative or otherwise with the police, but they both happened |
| 2:17.8 | in outlying areas that shouldn't have, nothing of this sort should have happened to him. |
| 2:26.7 | So when our guest today, Marvin Haynes, |
| 2:31.0 | and when his case came across my desk, it didn't shock me. In fact, it made me sad. |
| 2:41.5 | It made me very sad. Let me tell you about his case and then we'll bring him on. |
| 2:48.0 | I don't want to keep him any longer than we have to because I want to get right into it. |
