Who?
Texas man and police
What?
Drug charges
When?
2013
Where?
Texas

Why?
After being sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2013, Gathon Shannon of Houston, Texas, was given a new trial. The 48 year old man was accused of being apart of drug (cocaine) distribution, and even though he was originally convicted, federal courts overturned his sentence when it showed that his fifth amendment right against self incrimination had been violated. The prosecution unlawfully cross-examined him about his silence after being arrested. It seems that Shannon could walk free on discrepancies over his personal rights.
