Man wrongly convicted of killing father's pregnant fiancé when he was 11 found out only after two years why he was in prison

While it took nearly a decade of fighting to clear his name, Jordan Brown says it almost took him two years to even find out why he was in jail.

A 21-year-old man who was wrongfully convicted in the shooting death of his father's pregnant fiancé in 2009 has spoken about the incident and claimed it took him over two years to find out why he had been arrested. Jordan Brown was just 11-years-old when he was pulled from his bed, arrested, and charged over the death of 26-year-old Kenzie Marie Houk and it would take him over a decade to clear his name.

After an extended legal battle, Brown was finally released this past July, with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unanimously overturning Jordan's adjudication of delinquency — the term that replaces "convicted" in a juvenile court — on a first-degree murder charge. Now, in an interview with Juju Chang for ABC's 20/20, Brown details his confusion and horror over being apprehended over a crime he did not commit.
