After his acquittal in the Ellis Unit prison guard murders, Eroy Brown was freed, but was later convicted of committing an unrelated crime. For his own protection, he is not housed in a Texas prison, and instead is held in a federal facility at Leavenworth, Kansas. Now 59 years old, he is slated to be released in 2017.

- "If ever there was a dead man, it was Eroy Brown, a black convict who killed two white prison guards. The story of [Craig] Washington's successful three-trial defense of Brown should be a book and a movie. This one is going to live as a Gettysburg in legal history." --Molly Ivins
