Tyrone Brown
Tyrone Brown (born 1973) is an African-American man from Texas who, in 1990, was sentenced to a life term in a Texas maximum security prison and was kept incarcerated for 17 years after testing positive once for smoking marijuana while on probation for robbing a man of two dollars at the age of 17.〔 No one was hurt in the robbery, and Brown had voluntarily returned the wallet to the victim.〔 Brown's case attracted some attention in the press in 2006, and he was later granted a conditional pardon by Texas Governor Rick Perry.〔Avila, Jim, Martelli, Joan, and Clarke, Connie, (Update: Man Jailed for Joint Set Free ), ABC News 20/20, March 26, 2007.〕 He was released on March 16, 2007.
==Press attention==
Brown's case was contrasted in the press with the case of an influential white defendant; both defendants were sentenced by the same judge, Keith Dean.〔〔 The other man had committed murder by shooting an unarmed prostitute in the back (and then taking money from his victim after shooting him), and had then violated his parole by repeatedly testing positive for cocaine use over a period of several years, breaking through the glass door of a woman's home to confront her in a dispute, living with at least two men who had multiple criminal convictions, and being arrested for crack cocaine possession while driving a congressman's car.〔 Probation records indicated that the man had failed five drug tests over a three-year period.〔 In contrast with the way Brown was treated, the other defendant was never sent to jail and received an early lifting of all of the usual conditions of probation.〔〔
After Brown's case and the contrasting treatment of the other man became well known, in part due to a feature report on the ABC News television program ''20/20'', the judge involved in the two cases, Keith Dean, failed to win re-election to his position.〔
