SUMMARY: The family of Joshua Brown, falsely accused of murdering Jackson State University (JSU) student Jaylen Burns, has filed a lawsuit against the university and several officials. Brown’s mother claims the defendants withheld crucial information that led to his wrongful arrest in 2023. He spent time in the Hinds County Detention Center under inhumane conditions before being exonerated, as video evidence proved he was 90 miles away during the incident. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, citing violations of Brown’s rights and the resultant damages to his reputation and mental health.
