He Wore the Badge. Then Went to Prison. | Kent McGowen's Story
<p>In this unforgettable episode of <strong>Nightmare Success</strong>, Brent Cassity sits down with former Harris County Sheriff's Deputy <strong>Kent McGowen</strong> to hear the story that has defined more than three decades of his life.</p><p>Kent shares how his dream of serving in law enforcement led to a career as a police officer before everything changed following the fatal shooting of Susan White while serving an arrest warrant. His first conviction was overturned on appeal because of legal error, but after a second trial in 2002, another jury convicted him of murder.</p><p>Throughout the conversation, Kent explains why he continues to maintain his innocence, why he believes rumor and innuendo overshadowed the facts, and how he survived years of public scrutiny, prison, and the loss of his career. He also discusses his book, <strong>Reasonable Doubts: How Rumor and Innuendo Convicted Deputy Kent McGowen of Murder</strong>, and why he believes it's important for people to hear his perspective.</p><p>This episode explores far more than a criminal case. It is a conversation about justice, resilience, identity, faith, perseverance, and what it takes to rebuild a life after everything you've worked for has been stripped away.</p><p></p><p>Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?
