Cain "Josh" Storey, who was recently freed from a Georgia prison after over 25 years, has filed a federal lawsuit against Floyd County investigators regarding the 1996 death of his friend, Brian Bowling, during a game of "Russian Roulette." Storey claims he was coerced into confessing to the killing during an hourslong interrogation without legal representation, despite evidence indicating the shooting was accidental. The lawsuit targets various officials, including Floyd County's police chief and former officers, alleging misconduct and a failure to conduct a proper investigation into Bowling's death.
