On Friday, the Texas Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Alfred Dewayne Brown is entitled to monetary compensation from the Texas Comptroller’s Office due to his near decade on death row for a crime investigators later found he did not commit. Back in 2005, Brown was convicted of murdering Houston Police Officer Charles Clark and sentenced to death. But in 2014, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals threw out Brown’s conviction after a Harris County detective found phone records that corroborated Brown’s alibi, which Harris County prosecutors were aware of but never shared with Brown’s defense team. Brown was released from prison in 2015, and in 2016 requested monetary compensation of nearly $2 million from the Texas Comptroller since wrongfully imprisoned Texans are entitled to be paid by the state thanks to the Tim Cole Act, a state law passed in 2009 in honor of Cole, who was wrongfully convicted of rape and was later exonerated after he died in prison.
