Date of Offense: 04/04/89

Circumstances of Offense:

Late in the evening of April 3, 1989, Crosley Green came upon Charles Flynn, Jr. and Kimberly Sue Hallock, both of whom were inside Flynn’s truck, which was parked in a park near Mims, Florida. 

Green robbed them of $190, tied Flynn’s hands behind his back, and then, driving the victim’s truck, forced them at gunpoint to ride with him to an orange grove.  Hallock testified she saw Green fire a shot before she managed to escape the scene.

Police later found Flynn lying facedown with his hands still tied behind his back and a single gunshot wound to the chest.  He was still alive, but stopped breathing several times and died before paramedics arrived.  Hallock later identified Green as the man she saw in the park.

Case Information:

Green filed a direct appeal with the Florida Supreme Court on 02/15/91, citing the following errors: improper inclusion of evidence; denial of a motion to suppress Hallock’s identification of Green; giving a flight instruction to the jury that Green had fled to avoid prosecution;  improper doubling of aggravating circumstances; unproven finding of the heinous, atrocious, or cruel aggravating circumstance; refusal to find mitigating circumstances; and disproportionate sentencing, compared to other cases.
