Brunswick, GA — Nine years after his high-profile conviction, community leader and former pastor Kenneth Adkins is still waiting on a judge to rule on his motion demanding that the Brunswick District Attorney release exculpatory evidence that was allegedly suppressed during his 2017 trial.
At the center of this latest legal battle is a pivotal document: Adkins’ letter of resignation, which prosecutors reportedly withheld from the defense. Adkins’ legal team argues that this letter directly contradicts the prosecution’s narrative and could have changed the outcome of the trial had it been presented to the jury.
Adkins has stated that the resignation letter proves he was wrongfully convicted. Under the landmark Brady v. Maryland ruling, the prosecution is constitutionally required to turn over any evidence favorable to the defendant. The failure to disclose this letter, his attorneys argue, is a clear violation of Adkins’ due process rights.
Despite filing a formal motion weeks ago, Adkins is still waiting for a ruling. The silence from the court has raised concerns among civil rights advocates who say transparency and timeliness are critical when it comes to possible wrongful convictions — especially in a case that captured national attention.
“This is not just about Kenneth Adkins,” said a spokesperson for his legal team. “This is about accountability in the justice system. When critical evidence is hidden from the jury, the integrity of the entire trial comes into question.”
Supporters of Adkins have launched a renewed push for justice, urging the court to act swiftly and grant access to all withheld documents. They say that enough time has passed and that the public deserves the truth.
Adkins, who has maintained his innocence from the beginning, was sentenced to three life sentences, remains hopeful that the courts will finally allow the full story to come out.
