SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio — As friends, family and supporters gathered outside the Shaker Heights home where Dwayne Brooks stayed with family, the 57-year old felt something he hadn’t in more than three decades — freedom.It was a celebration of freedom 35 years in the making. It was a day Brooks wondered if he’d ever see.
In 1988, Brooks was convicted of shooting two men and killing another a year earlier in Cleveland’s Luke Easter Park. That’s because the lead prosecutor at the time testified it was office policy not to hand over copies of police reports to defense attorneys. It’s a harsh reality, according to Brooks's attorney. She’s calling for accountability for a justice system that she believes is more concerned with outcomes than accuracy.
