A national audience will get to see Greg Kelley’s fight for justice since being accused and convicted of a crime he didn’t commit.

OUTCRY is a five-part documentary series airing on SHOWTIME that examines this case from multiple angles.

 

 

“Stepping out of myself when watching this documentary I was like ‘Man, I can’t believe that was my story and that was me and I went through all of that,’ I even asked myself wow, how did I get through that?” said Kelley.

In the summer of 2013, Kelley--a Leander high school football star--was accused of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

He was ultimately convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison without the possibility of parole at the age of 19.

Kelley maintained his innocence since his arrest, and as more and more supporters in the community began to call into question the initial investigation, a cloud of doubt was cast on the Cedar Park Police Department and the evidence used to convict Kelley.

Years later, Williamson County's newly appointed district attorney would play a critical role in Kelley's quest for freedom and after a hearing in 2017, a judge determined Kelley was innocent.

Director Pat Kondelis first heard about Kelley’s story after his sexual assault conviction when he was starting his prison sentence.

“Until I met with Greg’s family, his attorney—it was probably his attorney, Keith Hampton, after the first time I talked to him and learned the legal specifics of the case and what was going on that I just found myself not able to stop thinking about it," Kondelis said.

Kondelis and his film crew spent the next few years alongside Kelley through every twist and turn of his legal battle.

“You just don’t know what’s going to happen, and with every new piece of evidence, with every new revelation, everything can change on a dime and that happened multiple times throughout this process," said Kondelis.

Kelley has since been exonerated and is moving forward with his life--recently marrying his longtime girlfriend and attending college at the University of Texas at Austin--but he says the documentary will naturally reopen some old wounds.

 

 

 

“We’re going to go through this one more time but you know what, there’s a totally different ending and we know what to expect," Kelley said. "Just re-watching six years of nightmare and battle and fight and faith and prayer all together combined in five episodes is a lot.”

Kondelis says there are never-before-seen elements of this case that will revealed in OUTCRY so even those familiar with Kelley’s story might be surprised.

OUTCRY officially premieres on SHOWTIME on Sunday, July 5 at 9 p.m. CST.

New episodes will debut every Sunday through August 2, and the entire series will be available for on-demand streaming on July 5 through the SHOWTIME app.
