Outcry, the new docuseries on Showtime, chronicles the story of Greg Kelley, a high school football star from Texas who was looking towards a bright and successful future. But then he was accused and charged of sexually assaulting a four-year-old boy.
He vehemently denied the claims, and, as the docuseries suggested, a proper investigation didn't really take place. Long story short, after four years in jail, protests from supporters, and two agonizing years out on bond waiting to find out his fate, Kelley was finally exonerated.
Following the show's airing, viewers ponder what those involved are up to now.
10 Police Chief Sean Mannix
Mannix is one person involved in the case that Kelley has been lobbying to have fired and has filed suit against. It appears Mannix was "retired" for a short period of time after Kelley's release but has since accepted a position as chief of police for the city of Burnet.
Mannix still apparently holds firm in his belief that Kelley was guilty of the crime and the police did everything right.
9 Sergeant Chris Dailey
While both Kelley and his mother delivered emotional speeches calling for the firing of both Dailey and Mannix, neither were let go.
According to the docuseries, Dailey was not only kept on the force, but he was also promoted to a higher position where he is in charge of a team of investigators. It's unclear if he still holds this position today.
8 Keith Hampton
The lawyer that Kelley said should be the next Marvel superhero in a cape is still seemingly practicing law in the state of Texas, according to his website.
Interestingly, he doesn't appear to be trying to capitalize on the Kelley case, with no details about Kelley on his homepage. In the "Keith in the News" section, however, it links to several articles that discuss his big win for Kelley. He is also reportedly still handling Kelley's legal affairs, including lawsuits and compensation.
7 Patricia Cummings
Before there was Keith Hampton, there was Cummings. And while she was not found to have done anything wrong in the way she represented Kelley in his initial trial, many others have different opinions.
As noted in the docuseries, she now ironically heads up the Conviction Integrity Unity in Philadelphia. She did make a name for herself for freeing upwards of 25 wrongfully convicted individuals throughout her career. But somehow, things just didn't work out in Kelley's case.
6 District Attorney Shawn Dick
The District Attorney that Hampton said in the docuseries should be the example for how a district attorney should act was instrumental in helping Kelley's conviction get overturned simply by looking at the case, realizing the trial was handled fairly, owning up to the mistakes in his department, and reopening it.
It appears that Dick continues to hold his position in Williamson County, Texas.
5 Johnathan McCarty
The teenage boy who lived in the house with Kelley and was extremely jealous of him, not to mention bore a striking resemblance to him, was later discovered to have raped and assaulted a woman, potentially more than one. He also owned the type of pajama pants the young boy claimed his assailant, who he called "Greg," was wearing.
After serving time in jail for sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl, McCarty was released on bail. He is reportedly working for a landscaping company in Texas.
4 Texas Ranger Cody Mitchell
Mitchell, who seemed initially impartial, was an interesting part of the trial. In the end, despite him suggesting that he found incriminating details on Kelley's phone through a search warrant, including a supposed Adult Friend Finder account that didn't seem to exist (all of which Kelley denied) his part of the investigation did discover more details about McCarty as well that cast additional doubt that Kelley was guilty.
Mitchell's LinkedIn page suggests that he remains a Texas Ranger who specializes in human trafficking, child abductions, and crimes involving deviant sexual offenders. He also lists himself as an international public speaker and trainer, volunteer for the National Child Protection Task Force, and co-creator of the Interdiction for the Protection of Children (IPC) program.
3 District Attorney Jana Duty
She was the District Attorney at the time of Kelley's arrest and seemed hellbent on having him convicted. The docuseries suggested that she might have been more focused on having a big conviction on her resume than actually ensuring Kelley was guilty.
Duty, who had been arrested for contempt and spent a few days in jail in the past, was found dead in her condo. The docuseries suggests that it was suicide.
2 Jake Brydon
There wasn't much known about Jake Brydon from the docuseries aside from the fact that he was a local who came across the case by chance and, after talking to a friend, decided that he was going to take it upon himself to help this innocent young man get out of jail. So, he called Kelley's mother and began a massive social campaign for justice.
Dubbed an activist, Brydon still lives in Leander with his family where he owns a construction business and co-founded a company that provides software for roofing contractors. He remains friends with Kelley and, as seen in the docuseries, even officiated his wedding to Gaebri.
1 Greg Kelley
Now married to the love of his life, Gaebri Anderson, who stood by him through thick and thin, Kelley is attending the University of Texas and hoping to make it onto the football team there.
He owns his own business making supplies for ax throwing called Tomahawk Targets and has reportedly sued the City of Cedar Park and both Dailey and Mannix for the acts that led to his wrongful conviction.
