The Murder Cases of Willie Manning: Is Mississippi About to Execute An Innocent Man?
Willie Manning has been convicted and sentenced to death in Mississippi twice– for two separate double homicides. But- from there- things got complicated pretty quickly. There were substantial evidentiary issues with one of the convictions. Manning’s attorneys were able to get it thrown out and the state dropped those charges. The other conviction still stands, though– and the state still wants to execute Manning. But there are problems with this case too. Years after the case, the Justice Department and the FBI sent prosecutors a letter about the testimony given at the trial by their scientific experts. They said that the testimony had gone too far, that it had “exceeded the limits of science and were, therefore, invalid.”But, again, the conviction still stands and the state of Mississippi still wants to execute Manning. So what exactly is going on here? To help us try to figure it out, we spoke with some attorneys from the Mississippi Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel who are working on Manning’s case. They’ll discuss the details of both cases, why he was convicted, what they see as the problems with those convictions and what exactly they think should happen next.Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn survived an unimaginable trauma on the early morning of March 23, 2015. Criminals invaded Quinn's home as the couple slept in bed. They were both bound and drugged.

Their harrowing and infuriating story is the focus of the Netflix true crime docu-series American Nightmare. The couple also authored a book on the case: Victim F: From Crime Victims to Suspects to Survivors. In this interview with The Murder Sheet, Huskins and Quinn will discuss the awful crime they both survived, subsequent legal wranglings, lingering questions about other suspects and law enforcement misconduct, and the possible changes that could make police invesetigations fairer and compassionate.
