Episode notes

Adam Brazil was convicted of murdering Malcolm Burrough. A TBI agent found an unidentified fingerprint on the inside of a door handle in Mr. Burrough's vehicle and ran it through their system to find a match. The hit came back on someone named Kermit Bryson, who had some sort of loose connection with Malcom Burrough. He is now deceased himself because he allegedly murdered a sheriff's deputy after his murder trial before killing himself.

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.
