Retired Washington, D.C., detective Johnny St. Valentine Brown Jr. was convicted in February of eight counts of perjury committed in state and federal court. For years and through thousands of trials, he claimed he was an expert on drugs and drug gangs with master's and Ph.D. degrees in pharmacology. Problems was, he never held those degrees. Now, defendants who went to prison in part because of Brown's testimony are clamoring for new trials, and an onslaught of motions is beginning to flow.

On a Tuesday in June of last year, a retired Washington, D.C., detective named Johnny St. Valentine Brown Jr. walked into the offices of Bode & Beckman and lied through his teeth.
During his deposition at the firm’s Connecticut Avenue offices, the nattily dressed Brown told attorney Peter C. Grenier that his qualifications as a drug expert included master’s and Ph.D. degrees in pharmacology that he earned from Howard University between 1968 and 1972.
