Brett was a single man of 23 at the time of his arrest. He shared an apartment and living expenses with his mother, who had just had hip replacement surgery, while working as a chef for a well recognized restaurant. Brett has always been a compassionate person, never confrontational, facing life with great inner strength, a tremendous sense of humor, and a thirst for learning. He is a man with a ready smile, well liked by all who know him. On September 10th, 1997, Brett was arrested for the murder of Winda Snipes. This was after Brett had made anonymous calls to 911 to report finding the victim There can be no doubt that the brutal nature of her death made this a high profile case with an urgency to be solved. Brett's trial started on April 14th, 1998. He was found guilty on April 30th, 1998. Brett was sentenced to death on May 22nd, 1998. This is a very short period of time for a death penalty case. Brett's family and supporters have always known that Brett is innocent. Much of his case has not been able to be looked at on appeal because post conviction attorneys missed crucial filing dates. His case contains many of the components typically found in wrongful convictions. We welcome the opportunity to share with you some of that information. Continue to the fast facts page.
