Nearly 29 years after his conviction for a crime he did not commit, Patrick Brown walked out of a New Orleans courtroom a free man on Monday.
Mr Brown, 49, was sentenced to life without parole for the rape of his stepdaughter in 1994. But not only did Mr Brown continually proclaim his innocence over the next two-plus decades, but his stepdaughter did as well — maintaining that Mr Brown was not the man who raped her.
