Episode notes

In January 2016, Adam Brazil was released from prison after more than eight years. He was free to go home and wait for a new trial. Ten months later, the quarter of criminal appeals released their opinion. And so they reversed my decision and ordered Mr. Brazil to be put back in prison. The wallet was there. It was on the body. I wasn't involved in it other than that night and the next day. Because I wasn't an investigator, I wasn't a detective, I was a road sergeant. When Malcolm Burrows was murdered in 2006, the Sheriff of Grundy County was Brent Myers. Under his watch, all of the documents pertaining to the case allegedly disappeared

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.
