MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - A perjury charge has been dropped against a juror in a 2008 capital murder trial in Montgomery County.

Flowers is accused of shooting to death, four people in 1996. A judge accused Bibbs of lying to the court so he could serve on the jury. Bibbs pleaded not guilty and the state attorney general's office dropped the charge stating insufficient evidence.
