Darrell Lee Clark and his co-defendant Cain Joshua Storey were 17 years old when they were arrested for their alleged involvement in the death of 15-year-old Brian Bowling.
Through their investigation, new evidence emerged which "shattered the state's theory of Clark's involvement" in Bowling's death and the podcasters flagged his case to the Georgia Innocence Project, according to its news release. Police claimed the other witness, a man who was in a different room of the Bowlings' home at the time of the shooting, identified Clark from a photo lineup as the person he saw running through the yard on the night Bowling was shot, the news release said.
Clark's attorneys filed pleadings in September to challenge a wrongful conviction and ask for a new trial, citing new information which proved his conviction was based on false evidence and coercion, Hurley told CNN.Clark and Storey try to rebuild their lives "You never think something like that is going to happen to you," said Lee Clark in a statement released by the Georgia Innocence Project.
"I watched my son go into prison as a kid, I watched him go through prison, I watched him come out as a man. He became a man in prison," he added.
