since lowery is out of prison, he can t demand a test. he must ask for permission from the current riley county prosecutor, bill kennedy. i remember distinctly we re out on the front steps of the courthouse having a five-minute conversation and his response to my request was, if you think this guy didn t do it, let s get it tested. i ll help you. in this case, there was a clear, what i felt, yes or no. and it could set the question to rest. it wasn t a legal question. it was a right or wrong question and it seemed to me to be the right thing to do. there s just one little problem. no one knows where the evidence is. the evidence custodian at the time did a search and fairly quickly concluded they didn t have anything. it was all gone. coming up if it weren t for bad luck, eddie lowery
is tested and it confirms his guilt, all these doing is blowing his cover. whatever privacy he had will be gone in a very, very public forum. so i knew he was telling the truth. barry clark has never worked a post-conviction dna case, but he s in luck. just a few days after this meeting we just had another case in tennessee. he attends a conference run by innocence project co-founder barry scheck. i went up, met him. a great guy. explained my case to him. he looked at me and goes oh, that s a false confession case like he s seen dozens of them. i had no idea what a false confession case was. scheck tells clark thoift more than 270 people he s proven innocent, 25% made a false confession to a crime. innocent people, you know, can be intimidated. their will can be overborne and they can be brought to falsely
of daniel brewer. he s arrested for the 1981 rape of the 74-year-old woman and the rape of another woman in ogden three months prior. on july 15th, 2011, brewer pleads guilty. it s taken 30 years. but eddie lowery believes a crooked case has finally been made straight. and i ll never understand all this why this all happened and all that stuff. but, you know, the whole thing is coming around full circle. coming up, lowery s reunion with the daughter who was lost to a wrongful conviction.
detectives. who is the jury going to believe? i knew i was in trouble. coming up the verdict. and later, an old envelope turns the case upside down. approach to food is to keep it whole for better nutrition. and that s what they do with great grains cereal. see the seam on the wheat grain? same as on the flake. because great grains steams and bakes the actual whole grain. now check out the other guy s flake. hello, no seam. because it s more processed. now, which do you suppose has better nutrition for you? mmm. great grains. the whole whole grain cereal.
and even more outrageous they never disclosed that. that s classic exculpatory evidence that should have been disclosed and they covered it all up. in fact, the innocence project learns that detectives harry malugani and doug johnson were interrogating eddie lowery the very same day daniel brewer was booked into county jail in connection with another rape. a rape with a similar m.o. in the same neighborhood. and here they have lowery where there s no evidence where he s guessing at details that they are feeding him, and they know all this information. i mean, it s inexcusable. both the individual officers involved in the case and the department itself declined repeated requests for interviews or a statement of any sort. on january 28th, 2010, nypd detectives, along with agents of the kansas bureau of investigation knock on the door
