Ep 1: Unfair Game Play Twice

It began with a crime that shattered a community: five women and girls, taken from their home in Irwin, Jamaica, and assaulted in a nearby field.

The island was horrified. The police promised swift justice. Days later, two young brothers—Kieran and Sheldon Brissett—were arrested and paraded as the face of evil.

But there was one problem: they didn’t do it.

In this premiere episode of Stuck, host Andrew Wildes unpacks how a justice system designed to protect the innocent turned its back on science, due process, and truth. Despite volunteering their DNA, and despite that DNA ruling them out as a matter of scientific fact, the Brissett brothers were dragged through the courts while the real perpetrator, Patrick Green, continued raping—again and again. Green would later confess to over 20 rapes. But for over a year, while his spree continued, the system focused its full weight on two innocent men—ignoring warnings, evidence, and history.

With exclusive insight from renowned Jamaican attorney Bert Samuels, this episode exposes the hidden cost of prosecutorial overreach, systemic failure, and public pressure. It’s a case study in how wrongful convictions happen—not just through error, but through willful neglect. This is the story of what happens when the cry for punishment drowns out the demand for justice. And why, in the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
