Definition: Dumb Ass

From Sig's Real Life Dictionary:

Dumb Ass - a loser who ultimately spends 15 years in State prison for a murder he didn't commit, is finally cleared and collects $2.6 million in damages; then gets arrested for possessing a brick of heroin and now may lose everything.

Roy Brown is the name, dumb ass is the game. Your family helps you get out of stir. The suspect who really murdered the girl commits suicide once he realizes that he is about to be arrested. You're a multi-millionaire:

Brown’s siblings call him “Kippy,” from his childhood nickname, “Skippy.” Kuczynski said she talked to him nearly every day by phone when he was in prison, brought him special food because of his liver disorder, and distributed nearly 30,000 fliers across the state seeking his release.

After Brown got his money from the state, he rewarded his siblings for sticking by him by giving each $25,000 in cash, Kuczynski said.

So far so good. In a rags to riches dream come true, you now have a beautiful home in a very nice section of Upstate New York, twenty cars and more property in Florida. Okay, so you went a little squirrely buying the stretch limo but we can understand those pent up shopping urges. So what say you just piss it all away, huh Sparky?

Less than two years after his release, Brown shows up on the DEA radar and they take him down for dealing. There is finger pointing going on between Brown and the man arrested with him regarding who had the heroin in the car, but that is just a side show. This man doesn't need to find trouble, he generates it like refried beans generate wind.

Trouble followed him after his release. Andrew Bishop, who lived with Brown in Syracuse after Brown’s release from prison, said in court papers that in 2008 Brown was regularly using heroin and the prescription painkiller OxyContin.

Bishop claims in a lawsuit that Brown defrauded him out of $38,000 on a house deal. Bishop, who has a public-access television show in Auburn, had befriended Brown and was planning to produce a documentary about his ordeal, the lawsuit against Brown says. Bishop filed a complaint with the Cayuga County sheriff’s office in 2008 claiming Brown had threatened to kill him and county prosecutors.

Susan Weichert claims in another lawsuit that Brown reneged on a signed contract to buy a home from her at 3195 Main St., Mexico. After he moved in, Brown failed to make payments, Weichert’s lawsuit said. She claims Brown owes her $250,000.
