To Death Row and Back again p4 - Anthony Apanovitch

On Aug. 23, 1984, Mary Flynn had been visiting her brother Martin Flynn and his wife, Kate, looking for houses for sale in their neighborhood. That night, around 10 p.m., a neighbor saw Flynn walking from her Toyota Tercel to the back door of her home after her visit to her brother and his wife.

Hours later, she was dead.

The next day, concerned that Mary hadn’t shown up for work and unable to reach her, a fellow nurse at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital called Marty Flynn. The two met at the duplex and got in through an unlocked door on the tenants’ side of the basement, according to court documents.

His sister was lying facedown on her bare mattress, nude, badly beaten and bloodied. Her wrists were bound behind her back with what appeared to be a torn strip of the bed sheet, which was also tied around her neck and the bed’s headboard.

It wasn't long till police would bring in Tony for questioning, he'd recently done some work on Mary's house and had been seen talking with her that day. Innitially they let Tony go but a month later he got a call to say he needs to come in to the station because he is going to be formally charged with murder.

After being convicted Tony eas sentenced to death and would spend more than 30 years on death row until DNA would seemingly exonerate him of the crime. He spent two years back home iwth his family until eventually a techincal legal loop hole saw him re arrested and sent back to death row where he remains today.
