Brooks Bellay was 14 when he killed a little girl in a small Florida beach town. 

Nearly 40 years later, he stood in front of a judge asking to be freed from his life prison term after law changes made him, and several hundred other, eligible for a sentencing do-over.

Hear from Brooks, his lawyers and the little girl's parents in episode two of Uncertain Terms.

Lanadieal Ashe | 1995 Fort Pierce murder

Murderers who killed as kids – sometimes decades ago – are getting a shot at freedom from their life prison terms thanks to recent court rulings. As judges resentence hundreds of offenders in Florida and more across the country, victims’ families are reliving the crimes and dealing with the devastating fallout as many of these killers receive reduced terms and in some cases, go free.

In this podcast, you'll meet the murderers, hear from victims' families, relive the crimes and learn if these killers walk free.
