Gregory Bright is a New Orleans native who was convicted of second degree murder in 1974 at the age of 20. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole, served at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. After several years of appeals, Bright was granted a new trial in 2001 on the grounds that the prosecution had withheld evidence from the defense in his previous trial. On June 24, 2003, Bright and Earl Truvia were released after the Orleans Parish district attorney dismissed all charges against them; they had spent 27 1/2 years in prison for a crime they did not commit. When Bright was released from prison, the State of Louisiana provided him with only a US $10 check and garbage bags full of legal paperwork.
