EXCERPT FROM INFO SHEET:
At 16 years old in 1994, Jefferson Parish WRONGLY CONVICTED an innocent kid, Eric Brown, for the murder of a known drug dealer. NO MURDER WEAPON, NO EYE WITNESSES, NO DNA, NO FINGERPRINTS; THE DA TOLD THE JURY HE "THINK" ERIC KNOWS WHO KILLED THE DEALER BUT WON'T TELL. TWO JURORS FOUND ERIC NOT GUILTY, BUT ERIC WAS STILL CONVICTED AND SENTENCED TO LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE. Eric's life -sentence was ruled unconstitutional by THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT IN 2012, but Louisiana refuses to follow the US Supreme Courts orders to reduce Eric's life sentence.
