So Texas AG Ken Paxton, who's currently indicted on first-degree felony securities fraud charges, is blocking Alfred Dewayne Brown state compensation for the 10 years he spent on death row, even tho Mr. Brown's been found factually innocent by a judge & DA.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
Cause, I guess, you know, the cruelty is the point.
Mr. Brown is legally entitled to $2 million in state compensation. AG Paxton told the comptroller he was guilty, without provding any evidence & said he shouldn't pay the compensation. As Harris County Kim Ogg said this was highly improper and completely outside his jurisdiction.
Mr. Brown was exonerated in 2015, but on DA Ogg's own submission earlier this year, a court made a finding of "actual innocence."

Let's be clear, DA Ogg is not a kind-hearted soul when it comes to death penalty cases. So this means A LOT. theappeal.org/harris-county-…
AG Paxton is under indictment for fraud. He has zero credibility. He shouldn't be in office, let alone telling the state comptroller what to do about money.
This is money Mr. Brown is legally entitled to. It's not discretionary. Nothing can make up for the time Mr. Brown has lost, or the hell he has been subjected to. Let's not let them take this little bit of what is his.
