 The Persecution of Alfred Brown: Texas AG, Police Conspired to Punish Innocent Man 

The Persecution of Alfred Brown: Texas AG, Police Conspired to Punish Innocent Man Political forces are aligned against Alfred Dewayne Brown, a man who was declared “actually innocent” after his conviction for murdering a Houston police officer. The Houston Police Officers’ Union urged the comptroller and the attorney general to deny Brown’s application for state compensation, and after staff of both offices met secretly in June, that’s just what happened.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

On May 20th of 2015 two New York Police Officers knocked on my door’s apartment in the Bronx searching for me (on the day of my birthday). They asked me a few questions at my door, then they took me to the Police Station  where the interrogated me for hours, fingerprinted me  and they sent me to Central Booking where I spent 24 hours before seeing a Judge.  

While I was in Central Booking I thought  about all these men and women that has been incarcerated for 10, 20, 30,40 and sometimes 50 years for crimes they didn’t commit.  The US Justice System must change the wrongly convictions practices because it destroys not only the lives of the inmates but also the lives of their families and loves ones. 

This is a National tragedy that needs attention now. Wrongly Convictions in America must stop.

I was lucky enough to be out in 24 hours but what about the ones who are spending their lives behind bars?

WHO IS THIS FOR

This film is not for us, it’s  to honor  those men and women  who are wrongly incarcerated in jails across America. This movie is also dedicated to their families and friends.  We hope that this movie opens the eyes of many people regarding this American tragedy. 

On the day I was exonerated, 30 years after I was wrongfully convicted of my mother’s murder, the reporters at the Bronx County Courthouse asked what I would do now that I was free. I told them I would run the New York City marathon.

    Running the marathon started as a joke in prison, where I told myself I’d run the race if I ever got the chance to go home. After saying it to myself over and over again, telling myself it was something I was going to do, life found a way to make it happen.
    “For the last 30 years, I’ve been running the marathon of my life.”
 

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

We need your help to complete principal photography and to cover all expenses to pay to our cast and crew.  We want to change the way Justice is wrongly served in America many times. 

 Another case:

 Austin T Burke was charged at 18 years old of murder and an unrelated robbery that were tried in the same case In Trumbull County Ohio. He was convicted by jury and sentenced to 58 years in prison.

The family of Charles Lorraine (who is sitting on death row from Trumbull County Ohio) pointed the finger at my son and had him convicted of murder through hear say in collaboration with the victims heroin addicted best friend. They are the kids who are products of this man and the Roupes of Niles, Ohio. Even though the victim’s family, And the detective knew that the victim and best friend were heroin addicts, They allowed him to lie on the stand in front of the jury. They knew that the victim had contacted his heroin dealer every 8 hours for a month, And the same dealer was the last person he talked to before never being seen again.

They told lies to the jury. The detective told lies to the jury that were directly contradicted in his own detective’s report, And the prosecutor indicted my son with no physical evidence whatsoever. A couple weeks later they used an unrelated robbery of a Pizza Joes, to frame my son and make him look more likely to have done this (Even though the 2 girls that were robbed, described the robber as being bi-racial with green eyes).

My family was demonized and dehumanized by Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Becker, and local media. The prosecutor personally called individuals that were friends or family of my son and other witnesses, and told them lies as if he had actually known us. And then he framed my son while he was incarcerated and awaiting trial – with ridiculous accusations of a deadly weapon in detention (broken plastic spoon), an absurd escape plan (through a 5th story, 6 inch by 6 inch, steel barred window), and threats to other inmates (that were disproved through video evidence during interior investigations).

This prosecutor still uses these ridiculous claims regard less of whether he was charged or actually convicted of any of these circus acts – In order to have him incarcerated in a maximum security prison. This teenage boy was forced and tricked into a plea bargain on the broken plastic spoon, And then subsequently given the maximum time (because the prosecutor said that the plea bargain was not “on the record”).
