“ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) — For four years in the 1960s, two brothers were on the run after a prison break at a juvenile facility.Robert Hughes, wrongfully incarcerated at age 16, had turned to his older brother, Donald, who helped him escape in 1964.
The men, still close and living in neighboring apartments, said they chronicled their experiences in a copyrighted manuscript and had an agent pitch it to producers.They now claim News Corp.’s Fox Broadcasting Co. and others hijacked it.
In a federal lawsuit filed last week, the Hughes brothers claimed Fox was sent their manuscript in 2001 and rejected it before starting to air the weekly drama “Prison Break,” about a man who helps spring his wrongly convicted brother from prison.”
