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.

On Monday, the criminal justice system finally took heed. Judge Calvin Johnson delivered the news that the court was vacating Mr Brown’s conviction, decrying a miscarriage of justice that robbed Mr Brown of well more than half of his life so far as “horrific,” according to a report by CNN.

......

The victim broke down in tears as she told the court at Mr Brown’s hearing how she had spent the last two decades writing more than 100 letters to the district attorney’s office and the court informing them that her stepfather had been wrongfully convicted.

In 2015, the victim went so far as to sign an affidavit identifying another family member as the man who had raped her. Even then, the district attorney’s office did not act.
