Woman Falsely Accused of Murder to be Released from Nevada Prison After 17 Years After Being Exonerated

A Nevada judge has ruled that a woman held in prison for 17 years after being falsely convicted of murder should be freed now that she has been exonerated. Utah recently passed a law in 2008 allowing for people to prove they are factually innocent of a crime for which they have been wrongfully convicted.  The law allows an unspecified amount of restitution to people who have been wrongfully convicted, imprisoned for years, and then exonerated or proven to be innocent.  The woman, Debra Brown, has missed seeing her children and grandchildren grow up.  Therefore she is looking forward to the prospect of being released today after her exoneration, that is being released the day after Mother’s Day.  Brown did admit to forging checks belonging to the victim after he died, but she has maintained her innocence of the murder charge all along.

Many famous people have been falsely accused of crimes.  If you think you have wrongfully been accused of a crime, don’t wait until you’ve already been convicted to contact a tough, experienced trial attorney.  Contact Keller Criminal Defense Attorneys now to speak with Max A.

Is Fingerprint Evidence Reliable?

Because fingerprints are generally considered unique, prosecutors often present fingerprint evidence as strong proof in criminal cases. However, fingerprint analysis is not always as straightforward as television crime shows make it appear. Fingerprint evidence is a type of forensic evidence used to connect a person to a crime scene, object, or location. Investigators collect fingerprints from surfaces such as weapons, vehicles, windows, phones, or packaging materials and compare them to known prints associated with a suspect.

What Is Soliciting Prostitution?

Prostitution solicitation is sometimes a felony-level offense. An example is when a defendant is accused of solicitation of a minor – a person below 18 years of age. The severity of the penalties increases as the age of the solicited child reduces.
