Patricia Brown was convicted in August 2016 of second-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old stepson.

Brown and her husband, Derrick, were first charged with murder in 2003, but a judge who presided over a preliminary hearing that October ruled there wasn’t enough evidence to proceed to trial.

A decade later, the Riverside County District Attorney’s office and the Sheriff’s department re-examined the case and submitted new evidence that resulted in the refiling of charges against the Browns. They were re-arrested on Jan. 16, 2013 — 10 years to the day after the boy’s death.

Derrick Brown was acquitted after a judge ruled there was a lack of evidence.

Patricia was released from custody late Tuesday night. You can watch her live reaction to her release here.
