Outcry 2020
Outcry is a 2020 documentary television miniseries created by Pat Kondelis that recounts the actual case of high school football player Greg Kelley, who faced arrest, imprisonment, and wrongful conviction for allegedly assaulting a 4-year-old boy. The series follows the efforts of his outspoken network of supporters as they fought for truth and justice. This Showtime-part miniseries debuted on July 5, 2020.
During Greg Kelley's final year at Leander High School in Texas, he was detained, found guilty, and sentenced for sexually assaulting a four-year-old child who was enrolled in day care at the residence where Kelley lived. A second accuser later withdrew their testimony during trial proceedings. Following this, Kelley received a sentence of 25 years without parole eligibility. Public reaction grew as numerous individuals challenged the local law enforcement's approach, the prosecutor’s methods, and the overall legitimacy of the verdict in what became one of the most divisive legal matters in the region's history. Kelley was fully cleared of all charges in November 2019.
"This does not feel like freedom at all," remarked Kelley prior to his release. Full exoneration by Texas’s Criminal Court of Appeals is an uncommon occurrence.
