Susman Godfrey managing partner Neal Manne plans to keep fighting after the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts denied state compensation for his pro bono client’s wrongful conviction.

Manne since 2015 has sought state compensation under the Tim Cole Act for Alfred Dewayne Brown, a Houston man recently declared actually innocent in the 2003 murder of a police officer, and who was wrongfully imprisoned for 12 years—nine on death row.
