    Presenting "Murder in the Orange Grove" with Erin Moriarty

    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.

Now, Moriarty shares exclusive recordings and new interviews with forensic experts, legal analysts, and Green himself from prison.
