Odell Hallmon, the state's star witness in the Curtis Flowers case, is serving three consecutive life sentences for murder. We wondered what he might say now that there are no deals to cut, and he will spend the rest of his days in prison. Would he stick to the story he told in court – that Flowers had confessed to the Tardy Furniture murders? We wrote him letters and sent him a friend request on Facebook. Weeks went by and we heard nothing. And then, one day, he wrote back.
