SHOWTIME will premiere its new documentary series Outcry on Friday, April 3, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Produced and directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Pat Kondelis, the five-part investigative series examines the gripping story of high school football star Greg Kelley, his controversial conviction and the quest for truth and justice as the case unfolds. Kelley had incredible momentum going into his senior year of high school in Leander, Texas, but that came to a sudden halt in the summer of 2013 when he was arrested and convicted of super aggravated sexual assault of a four-year-old boy. After he was sentenced to 25 years in state prison without the possibility of parole, a groundswell of support emerged, calling into question the investigation, the prosecution’s tactics and ultimately, the validity of the conviction. Over the course of three years, Outcry captures a divided community and follows the principal participants on both sides of the appeal process as they work in pursuit of opposing truths.
