The first time 48 Hours Correspondent Erin Moriarty met Crosley Green, it was 1999 and he had been sitting on death row for nearly a decade. Moriarty had interviewed convicted killers before but soon discovered that no one was like Crosley Green. The more she looked into his case, the evidence didn't seem to add up. On a quest to find out the truth, Moriarty spoke to some of the prosecution witnesses who testified against Crosley. All these years later, they had very different stories to tell.

About Murder in the Orange Grove: The Troubled Case Against Crosley Green
On a pitch-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—a crime Green insists he didn’t commit. "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. Now, Moriarty shares exclusive recordings and new interviews with forensic experts, legal analysts, and Green himself from prison. Murder in the Orange Grove, an 8-episode series from “48 Hours,” offers the most comprehensive deep dive into this shocking case that leaves one man fighting desperately for his freedom.Listen early and ad-free by subscribing to 48 Hours+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4aEgENo
