After nearly 35 years of maintaining his innocence, the man convicted of the 1987 murder at Cleveland’s Luke Easter Park will get another chance to convince a jury he’s not a killer.
Cuyahoga County Judge William McGinty granted Dwayne Brooks a new trial after finding prosecutors withheld information from defense attorneys that denied Brooks a fair trial.
That’s when investigators claimed Brooks opened fire on a group of men at the park, killing Clinton Arnold and wounding two others. The attorney who represented Brooks at trial testified during a November court hearing that he never saw the reports, and the lead prosecutor in the case testified that at the time of the 1988 trial, it was the prosecutor’s policy not to share copies of those reports with defense lawyers.
