Clarence Brandley - Racism

On the 23rd of August 1980, 16 year old Cheryl Dee Fergeson was raped and murdered during a volleyball tournament in Conroe, Texas. Clarence Brandley, the schools janitor found her naked body in the schools loft. After evidence was destroyed and police pressured witnesses in to testifying against him, he was sentenced to death. He was later released and the judge in his new trial said that it was one of the most blatant cases of racism and perjured testimony in history.
