A state agency shouldn t have denied compensation to a man who was wrongfully imprisoned - including for nearly a decade on death row - for the fatal shooting of a Houston police officer, the Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday. After a judge signed an order in May 2019 declaring Alfred Dewayne Brown innocent in the April 2003 slaying of Officer Charles Clark during a robbery of a check-cashing store, Brown was eligible for nearly $2 million in compensation under state law. He spent more than 12 years in prison. But the Texas Comptroller s office, which awards money to individuals who have been wrongfully imprisoned, rejected Brown s application. The comptroller s office had argued it was not sure the judge who declared Brown innocent had the jurisdiction to do so because of a previous order in the case.
