On an October night in 1996, a gunshot rattles the walls of a double-wide trailer on the outskirts of Rome, Georgia. A 15-year-old boy is killed – and two of his friends are arrested and sentenced to life in prison, where they remain today. An evil teenage plot? Or a blatant miscarriage of justice?

Hi everyone, this is Susan Simpson. As we announced in our final episode last week, after

0:12.4

seven years and over 400 episodes covering wrongful conviction cases, undisclosed has

0:17.5

come to an end. But stay tuned to this feed to hear from Colin Robby and I about future

0:22.4

updates in the cases we've covered on the show, as well as new projects that we're working

0:26.5

on. Right now, I wanted to tell you about proof, the new podcast I'm producing with Red

0:31.9

Marble Media. For this series, I head back to Floyd County, Georgia to cover a case that

0:37.6

is unlike any I've worked on before. And an investigation that turned up things that,

the boys got the idea to play Russian roulette. The police heard how Brian had loaded a single round

1:49.9

into a 38 revolver, spun the cylinder, held the gun to his head, and pulled the trigger.

1:56.0

This particular revolver had five chambers, which meant there would have been an 80% chance that

2:01.9

Brian would win the game and nothing would happen. But something did happen. A bullet was fired,

2:08.2

Brian was shot in the head, and he died the next day. What seemed at first to have been a tragic,

2:13.9

self-employed accident soon became something much more complicated, though. Within a few days,
