New from me: Michael West has now helped send at least five innocent people to prison, including three to death row.
Incredibly, West didn’t actually testify at Sherwood Brown’s trial. Another “expert” did, but used West’s notes and examination.

Why didn’t West testify? Turns out he was in another part of the state, giving the testimony that sent Kennedy Brewer to death row.
Brewer was also innocent.
When they later caught the real killer for that crime, the killer confessed to a similar murder in the same area . . .
Brewer was also innocent.
When they later caught the real killer for that crime, the killer confessed to a similar murder in the same area . . .
. . . a couple years earlier.
Levon Brooks was wrongly convicted for that murder.
At this point, you can probably guess who gave the clincher expert testimony that also convicted Brooks.
But yes. It was Michael West.

One more thing: In at least two cases in which West helped incriminate the wrong man, the real killer went on to kill again.
And because West helped incriminate the wrong man in two other cases, two triple murders went cold, and still have never been solved.
