In this remarkable episode, Mr. Flores talks about his beloved Dallas Cowboys, watching the Super Bowl on death row, and how he has been fighting to prove his innocence for over 25 years in a sensational case that turns on testimony by a hypnotized witness.

But the jury did not know that immediately after the crime in January 1998, this same eyewitness had described two perpetrators who looked nothing like Mr. Flores, and she had also failed to pick his photograph out of a six-photo lineup. Her identification of Mr. Flores was made for the first time mid-trial, after she had been subjected to \u201cinvestigative hypnosis\u201d conducted by police involved in the underlying investigation, and only after she had been exposed, on multiple occasions, to Mr. Flores\u2019s photo.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the Texas Legislature, inspired in part by Mr. Flores\u2019s case, outlawed evidence obtained from \u201cinvestigative hypnosis\u201d in criminal trials. But that law came too late to help Mr. Flores and he remains at risk of execution. In the coming days, Mr. Flores will be appealing his innocence claim to the United States Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Affiliate Links: This page links to Apple Podcasts.
