Miami-Dade prosecutors' 'deal with the devil' threatens to topple murder convictions
Briefly

Under a veil of secrecy, Miami prosecutors leaned on a confessed mass shooter, 'Little Bill' Brown, for help, influencing cases with improper methods and potentially unconstitutional actions. This involvement has jeopardized murder convictions.
Prosecutors used Brown's information gathering in jail, including monitoring witnesses, obtaining confessions, and learning defense strategies. Despite his involvement in multiple murders, including teens in mass shootings, Brown received leniency for cooperating.
Brown was given a favorable plea deal for his crimes, sparing him from potential death penalty punishment. Prosecutors kept him protected in jail for over a decade, manipulating his situation to extract information and cooperation.
Legal experts criticized the prosecutors' actions, highlighting the unethical nature of coercing an individual, like Brown, to participate in questionable and potentially unlawful activities. The misuse of authority by state representatives is a concerning breach of ethical conduct.
