Episode notes

Sergeant Mike Brown saw an article in the Grundy County Herald that Adam Brazil was going to trial. A few months after Malcolm Burrough's murder, Sergeant Brown had retired. He decided to get out of Tennessee altogether and moved to Florida. There is no physical evidence linking Adam Brazil to the crime. But there were witnesses who identified him as their attacker.

One day Adam Braseel got a phone call from his mother. She said that a man in Grundy County, Tennessee had been murdered, and the police thought Adam had something to do with it.

Adam was charged with and convicted of the murder of Malcolm Burrows and assault against Rebecca Hill and Kirk Braden, despite there being no physical evidence against him. And then, 8 years later, Judge Justin Angel ordered a new trial.

We speak with Adam Braseel, Judge Justin Angel, and Sergeant Mike Brown.
