The Mysterious Unsolved Tardy Furniture Murders 

The world is a completely different place than it was when he was jailed. Imagine having to relearn how to live because some dumb prosecutor decided on faking their case to put you in jail. This is so damn frustrating, and it keeps happening. How many cases do we need to learn of like this? I really don’t even have much trust in the justice system when there’s so many ppl who have spent their entire lives in jail for nothing meanwhile the other suspects in their cases were never investigated and those peoples families never got justice. It’s sickening that this is allowed to happen in this country and the prosecutors who do this just get away with it.

Yup, less than $23,000 a year! Such a shame how the D.A. can abuse that power so openly and confident.

Facts!!

Oh absolutely! It's not just the years he's lost but can you imagine the traumatic things he would have seen or been subjected to. You can't buy his life or peace of mind but that amount is just about insulting! I can imagine he just wants it over with.

Shoot, three squares and a bed under a roof that doesn’t leak? Deal!! The fact that I’ll be afraid of being jumped every day, well, it will be just like Junior High School, High School all over again. $500,000 after 20 years is more than some people will make from their nickel and dime employers.

Because the justice system is bullshit, and just like police who don't want to do shit about their fellow officers bad behavior, prosecutors don't want to go after their own for their fucked up actions.

Yeah, because the average person readily admits their guilt in whatever scenario happens to occur.

Murica

He's an old white man in the South...

Leo, Leo my buddy, where do you live that everyone who deserves to be in jail is IN the jail. We have more “Monsters” than all the videos here could ever want out roaming the streets tonight! Careful now how you look out the window, Curtis is out “walking.”

Well said!

Here,here

Racist prick!!!

Lol the US will never do that. They throw people in prison and throw away the key.

I’ll look

I’m assuming he can and will file suit against the state, that’s if the settlement doesn’t prohibit that.

While I do think that is extremely too low, and should be at least a few million........ Mississippi is the poorest state in the US. The median individual income was only $24,500 in 2019. I don't think the state could afford to pay what it should be paying.

@@splinter1psi99 The typical death penalty trial cost nearly $1.3 million, while a non-death trial cost about $600 thousand....now do that times 6...the money was there to kill him...why did the money disappear when it was time to finally admit that they was wrong...

@@leedavis1949 it's the justice system......the justice system in the south at that. They clearly had no problem going all out REPEATEDLY to sentence a black man to death. They never want to admit fault and damn sure don't want to pay what it was worth when they have to. But in all reality, I'm sure some asshole lawmakers wrote some asshole law to the favor of the courts so they don't have to pay but so much.

@@splinter1psi99 I 110% agree with you!

Probably still kkk members

Thats just terrible. It's Mothers Day here today in Australia so it hits a nerve.

It's*** like that oh, that no amount of money or apologies xcetera can ever compensate! What they did to this man excusable and anytime this s*** happens it is beyond words! Frustrating doesn't even begin to cover the emotions and anger I feel for what happened to this man. I experienced drug agents lie on me to convince me to take a charge for my girlfriend. They said they found heroin and that we were both being charged, I knew that they couldn't have and argued it. And they said well we have empty bags that test positive. And that's a class C felony. I had never been in serious trouble before I did have a drug habit. I thought that it might be possible. But I know now that they lied and I took the charge and did 18 months in prison period and from there on my life became a constant game for the police in the area I live to lock me up for probation violations. And I wound up catching more charges, by that time I was breaking the law. This is nothing compared to what Curtis went through. But I understand what it's like to be lied on/to. I also learned that the police aren't really concerned with the truth! They are concerned with convictions and winning at all costs. If you're poor you can't fight back, and if you have a record after that you are guilty of every single thing they say you are. It doesn't matter what you do, Your Existence becomes job security for the police/ probation / counseling/ Corrections Officers jail staff. The prison industrial complex and the private companies that use predatory/ Draconian drug laws to line there pockets. I was brought up to believe the police were my protectors. My grandfather was a police officer, and my uncle. It was a rude awakening to learn how Things actually Work. I am most certainly not trying to compare or minimize what Curtis went through! I just know that the justice system doesn't work the way people think it works. If you think about it, even at its best it's a punitive system. It does nothing to prevent crime. The best deterrent for crime, is a healthy educated, equal and informed population. Food shelter and Healthcare shouldn't be considered luxuries. They are every human beings right IMO. Most crime is the result of desperation or mental illness. Issues that we could handle as a society. If people were getting adequate Healthcare, weren't struggling/ petrified of losing their ability to feed themselves or their family. Or lose their home. It would eliminate the majority of criminal Acts. This would reduce the amount of potential criminals. Those that did exist would having extremely hard time Evading Justice. People do horrible things but the majority of people that do horrible things are doing it for money. Majority of addicts are trying to self-medicate because they don't have access to adequate or appropriate Healthcare/Mental Health. And when you have a system that is this broken this flawed it's no surprise that people wind up getting incarcerated crimes they didn't commit or locked up for self-medicating. If you don't have money you can't defend yourself in America. You can't defend yourself from Hunger you can't defend yourself homelessness you can't defend yourself from sickness. And you most certainly don't stand a chance in a courtroom. The minute that we come together as a nation. We make our government work as a union, like it was intended you would have an amazing country! It's hard to imagine and it seems like the problems are much harder to solve., but the majority of our issues are issues in which we've created ourselves

@@WillIngram08 I'm sorry man. That really sucks.

He's guilty.

@@WillIngram08 That's so messed up ! My dad and brothers were in and out of prison so they were no angels but they weren't always guilty either . I saw my brother beat down by police for a traffic warrant that he didnt pay? My dad was denied medications which aided in his premature death. I could go on and out about dirty cops and prosecutors and judges who were paid from drug money then locked up and convicted innocent people for another notch on their belt . im glad this man got out and put that dirty ass prosecutor on front street . I believe every word you said and am so sorry you had to go thru this . I pray for a brighter future .🙏😇👍💖💖💔

Don’t forget the fact that he was sweaty from walking 3 hours to steal guns, commit quadruple murder and buy crack and beer 🤦🏽‍♀️

Right.....I'm blown away that nobody saw through his bull$hit and stopped it right from the start. That dude needs to be in prison himself.

It's crazy how ridiculous it sounds when read like that. Yet, truth can be rather ridiculous 😳

Wow that’s a crock of shit

@@debshaw680 blacked??

I think he'd find it most educational...

Southern white prosecutor ignoring details and evidence through several trials in attempts to get an nearly all white southern jury to give the death sentence to a black man........sounds about white-- I mean right.

Absolutely despicable. That prosecutor is pure human garbage. Those who supported and allowed this to happen are guilty of corruption and propping up a system that destroys innocent lives and allows the guilty to remain at large.

@@splinter1psi99 I live in Kentucky and you are so right!

Agreed % 1000 %

Doesn't it make your blood boil? I'm not an angry, violent person - but I wouldn't trust myself alone in a room with that prosecutor.

He also tried to kill his own child by shooting into the closet he was hiding in after he killed his mother and grandmother.

Pure Evil!

NadjaraP * 😯

That part...

Without a doubt subjecting anyone to six trials is malicious prosecution and harassment. I haven’t even watched more than a minute of the video and am outraged. I really hope that he sues the state.

That is exactly what should happen. Any time anyone deliberately tries to have an innocent person locked up and/or murdered. Preferably charged with something that holds the same sentence they'd have imposed on someone else.

White privilege would not allow that to happen.....

Dont worry.....He be meeting the MAN Upstairs sometime on ETERNITY for his injustices. Every injustice we do here on earth doesn't goes unkown in Heavens.

ITS wealthy privilege not white privilege

But it was the Mississippi Supreme Court that kept overturning the trial and preventing him from being convicted. To me it’s obvious there were just some bad individuals pulling the strings and there was a good and bad side when it came to the Mississippi justice system. That one guy though deserves time behind bars for the amount of effort he put in to try it wrongfully convict Curtis.

@@scionixx9568 very good point. There could be a season of American Crime Story about the prosecution and those working towards appealing his sentences.

@@damarapapaefstathiou8795 I’d watch it. I’m glad Curtis is at least living his best life right now and especially that he was able to find himself a wife. I hope he’s happy

Do you think the prosecutor gives any thought to this at all?

Ana Itsirc : no question about that,love.

He put it in the description lol, but leaving it out of the title really saved him!

@@oofcurator3288 more or less if someone is to look his name up they won’t be shown this, but if someone already knew about it and looked up the tardy murders, they’d be able to find it. It’s just nice not having your name plastered to something that’s caused you so much pain.

I agree

Nice profile picture.

@@curseyehamewho thanks!

@@clarencetuurngait7628 lol how’s your country?

Wdym, the system isn't the broken part here, its the people behind it. Like the Prosecutor and the police

@@clarencetuurngait7628 "Violent Shithole"

@@clarencetuurngait7628 Yea those ultra violent Pilgrims with their buckles on their hats.

Sadly, he's not the only one. They're everywhere

Exactly. Plus we couldn’t even see the detective so we can observe his body language, the camera was only on her. Shady x100000

Exactly, who knows what he said to her prior to when the video starts. For all we know he might have threatened her with perjury and prison time if she didn’t repeat her previous statement. Its not unheard of.

This is where they save the tax payers money, they don't want any out side interferences. They got this.

Standard procedure and the right procedure

Yes! And helicopter transport for everyone in the courthouse to the Grand Jury, and put them all up in 5 star hotels because NO PRICE IS TOO HIGH for JUSTICE!

💛

This is so sad.

That was better English than I can accomplish sometimes and English is my first language lol. U wrote all of that very well and it's easily understood.

@@btter710 thank you.

Pigs do what they want

The agency of CPS is the same way.

Whose gonna prosecute em lol? Their buds?

He’s also far from the exception. There are many cases like that of Curtis where the evidence has been manipulated or simply falsified to match the suspects profile.

If you haven't already, read about the Central Park 5, it's the same, except in that case, they ruin teenagers lives 💔

@@KatherineAcosta20 no offence to anyone from the US, but your justice system really sucks. If you can't afford a decent lawyer the odds are dramatically reduced all too often for those unfortunate soles.It's also far too politically driven which luckily we don't have to worry about here in the UK.

@@1972dsrai its not just the system. One reason I hate lawyers.. they are like vultures when a high profile case comes up.. from rural small towns to metropolitan areas, these shysters use cases to further their careers using unethical even criminal means to get the outcome they want at the expense of actul justice

@@1972dsrai Stay where you are, we will do the best we can here.

He might have done it.

@@TheRealCaptainFreedom There’s no evidence that points toward him????

@@xxxstellarxxx That’s a question? Yes, there’s tons of evidence. He admitted to it. DNA evidence?

@@TheRealCaptainFreedom did we watch the same video?

@@xxxstellarxxx We did. The cops and prosecutors royally fucked up and denied the guy’s rights, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t indeed do the dastardly deed.

It should have outraged Mississippi! Not just Curtis, Not just Curtis’ family and friends, not just the local residents, BUT the entire state! They ripped this mans life apart and ruined his life for 22 years and beyond. You cannot ever get your name back after something like this. But also, the cost of 6 trials should have been ordered to be paid back by every single official involved in this case! They should be behind bars and their pension stripped from them! They shouldn’t have ever been able to go freely and live their lives when destroying the lives of so many, and allowing the real monster to walk FREE! All of this should have outraged Mississippi residents and ALL of the US! But, he was a black man and his life never mattered to most people. Such a broken good ole boy system!

... aren't judges and DA are elected ? That's why they are crooked and corrupt, like how politicians are?

Like he is still being voted into office...

I know iv never known anyone get fried so many times - though I bet if I googled it there’s some , I wonder how to word it for google? Like maybe “what are the most trials someone has gone through to eventually found not guilty “ ?

I've heard he is.

Same

Ditto!

Same :)

Same💯% right ✅

Or it was a white guy related to someone at the PD or prosecutor.

I agree. It’s sad that the case has been riddled with so much corruption, so many lies, recantations, and "deals" aka blackmail and bribes, that finding any justice feels next to impossible. 😔

He wanted to sentence this black man to death, which is why he kept trying to get an all-white jury because he knew in a small southern town, it would work. And kept doing it even after repeated times of the supreme Court reversing it for the same damn thing. After the second time, he should have been removed.

Curtis is a normal looking dude and I can tell you if I saw someone running I could imagine him to be any number of people. Idk who he pissed off in the department but I tell you this was JUST settled like 2 years ago and people still argue about it. The recent firing was all they needed and it pisses me off my hometown is associated with this bigotry.

The American justice system in all it’s glory. Thankfully I’m from London, UK where it’s far from perfect, but nowhere near as bad as this.

@@1972dsrai Didn't Colin Pitchfork get release recently? yikes.

@@AckReikTheGreatest07 He's out. I just saw an article about him in the Mail only a few days ago. He's currently in some sort of half-way house somewhere in the South of England, supposedly only a stones throw from about two primary schools and a nursery. How does that make any sense? He'll obviously be closely monitored, but still, do you really want to be putting such temptation before a guy with his record?

@Brendon Kennedy actually, no. I was born in 1995, so I just never learned about it. And if they talked about it on the news when I was a little older, I probably never paid attention.

@@jawsisashark listen to the podcast “In the Dark”. The miscarriage of justice shed an awful light on your community. It’s absolutely disgusting the way they did Curtis. It’s truly worth the listen.

I grew up in Greenwood... im a little older than you (born in 89) & I never heard about this until they started the appeals a few years ago. Funny how they don't talk about this stuff.

Same, oddly relaxing, the first time I listened before bed I thought I'd have nightmares!

🥴

With a mere $50k dished out each year, it will barely cover his cost of living expenses. I guess they couldn’t just give it to him all at once... that would have been too kind and wouldn’t have allowed them to control this man even further. Measly $500k for 22+ years of his life...

Same!

Maybe even sentence them for the 3 people who died because they gave someone who was an ACTUAL violent felon a deal.

For every time i come across a privileged person saying "there is no racism in the US anymore", there are at least 3 examples 1 have heard of (like this), telling of how it's still alive & thriving in all the right ways that allow comfortable people to believe that... This is awful... They wasted so much effort. The 4 dead people deserved real justice, and this innocent man deserves what can't be given back.

Me either

New names to lookup, thanks 😊

So you are saying if he targeted the right black guy it would still be racist? 🤔

@@5.7ninetynine more that the only reason Curtis was even scrutinized so severely was he was the first non white dude they suspected. Wonder how many other people were walking around that day that were never so much as talked to.

Curtis did at least fit the profile given by witnesses. Between 5ft and 6’9ft and between 120lb to 250lb.

💯

He was trying damn hard to say he didn't in any and every way possible!
