1. 23 year old brown, was accused of shooting Charles R. Clark, a Houston police veteran.
2. He tried telling the jury that he was innocent, and pleaded to them about it. After practically begging on his knees, they shot him down.
3. In October 2005, the jury decided to put Brown on the death row.
4. Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
5. Browns alibi, was that he was at his girlfriends apartment, when two men that he knew from the neighborhood when they started robbing a check-cashing store. Which turned out to be a murder. He claimed that he called his girlfriend on the fatal morning, through the apartment land line, around 10am.
6. His alibi was shot down because they could not fine the phone records, the jury said they didn't have them and the apartment land line people said that the records were destroyed.
7. They were called back to court because they found records of the phone call that was made the day of the murder.
8. They considered a document which shows one of the persecutors requested records, after his girlfriend told them about the phone call. Later the girlfriend said that she was pursued go lie according to court laws. Not really, this whole article to me seems sketchy.
9. The jury and Brown all seemed to be very done with this trial, they really wanted to be done with the process.
10. I feel like the author was pretty done herself, she seemed that she would've taken the side of Brown, and how it's unfair that he was on the death row, while others were still trying to deal with their fate.
11. I think that Browns case even if it's opened or closed its still very fragile and very debatable.
12. I feel like this piece would be a good editorial however, it is very opinionated and informational, so I was a bit confused about the entire topic, perspective wise.
