About this episode

Tiffany Reese interviews Patrick Brown, who was wrongfully convicted of aggravated rape, and his attorney Kelly Orians, discussing the case and the ongoing fight for justice.

On February 21, 1994, in New Orleans, LA, a 6-year-old girl was taken to the hospital after complaining of pain and unusual vaginal discharge. The doctors concluded that the young girl had been raped after she tested positive for gonorrhea. The girl was interviewed by authorities without any guardian present, and ended up saying that a family member named Patrick had touched her genitals. Despite there being other probable suspects in the family, 20-year-old Patrick Brown was charged with, and ultimately convicted of aggravated rape, and sentenced to life without parole primarily based on this one interview. Over the next 30 years, the girl continuously contacted the prosecutor’s office stating that they had the wrong guy. Yet, Patrick remained in prison. Guest host, Tiffany Reese, talks to Patrick Brown and Kelly Orians, Patrick's attorney.
