Wrongly convicted Louisiana man freed after 29 years for rape he didn't commit.

Patrick Brown, a Louisiana man, has been released from prison after serving 29 years for a crime he did not commit. The victim had told prosecutors for over two decades that Brown was innocent, but she was repeatedly ignored. Brown was sentenced to life without parole in December 1994 after he was accused of raping his six-year-old stepdaughter. The victim had implicated another family member, who had bragged about it around the time of the crime. The case was eventually reviewed last year by the Orleans parish district attorney’s civil rights division, created by the city’s reformist district attorney, Jason Williams, to examine past harms in the criminal legal system.
