Floyd Lee Brown

A developmentally disabled individual was held for 14 years after he was found incompetent to stand trial for murder and robbery. A judge finally ordered him to be released, following years of family, friends, and lawyers fighting for his release. Evidence that prosecutors say supports his guilt has now disappeared and his lawyers claim the confession they obtained from him was bogus. Floyd Lee Brown was held at a mental health hospital during his ordeal.
