Case narrative

Trivia

Despite identifying as a gay male at his interrogation, Brinkman was married to a woman. She successfully filed for divorce after his arrest. After his release, he took over day to day operations of a church because the pastor was an elderly man and church officials kept him on in this capacity despite calls for his firing.
