A Noxubee County judge released Levon Brooks on his own recognizance without bond after spending 18 years in prison for the rape and murder of a 3-year-old child. After Noxubee District Attorney Forrest Allgood reviews the case, Brooks will reappear in court in about three weeks, at which point he is fully expected to be exonerated. The judge could not talk specifically about evidence in Brooks' case because it will be used to prosecute Justin Arthur Johnson, who is now charged with the two murders Kennedy Brewer and Brooks served prison sentences for.

What a great day. The gods are smiling on Mississippi. At least a half smile.

Actually, they're probably glaring with a look that says: "What took you so damn long!?!"

I happy for this man since he is innocent as y'all say. But, somebody has to pay, and pay dearly, for raping and murdering a 3 year old! These crimes against children are getting tiresome, bothersome, and out of control! Time to weed out the rotten eggs in society. Don't F#$% with children! Period!!!!
