About this listen

The mother and son had just gotten home from a trip to the store and had no sooner brought their bags into their Bridgeport, Connecticut home when they heard the doorbell ring. As Karen Clarke turned the doorknob to see who was on the other side, she and her son, B.J. Brown Jr., were ambushed and gunned down in their own home.

This case has eyewitnesses, it has clear and critical evidence, it has a strong motive, and I’m here to tell you that it has an ending… But I wouldn’t say it has justice in its entirety. The rug was pulled out from under the feet of Karen and B.J.’s family earlier this year when they learned one of the perpetrators would see the outside of prison walls long before they ever thought possible.
