Former Duke University football player Brandon Braxton, who allegedly confessed to killing his former friend in Charlotte, was arrested and released four times after her death in July.

"It highlights the frustrations that we have all spoken about." "I call it an open-door policy. Some people call it a revolving door. … You commit a crime, you get arrested, you're back out."

Court records show that Brandon Braxton, 33, was arrested and released on unrelated charges four times for charges including injury to real property, simple assault, larceny, trespassing, resisting a public officer, indecent exposure and assault on a female before he was eventually charged with murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon on March 20. 

Just months after Hurd's death, Braxton allegedly exposed himself to a victim in a public Charlotte park and attempted to grab a woman's shorts, according to court records. He spent 31 minutes in jail for the incident exposure charge, records show.
