1. Great news!

I think the case needs a retrial. There are LOTS of problems with this case.

6. convicted of a quadruple murder

Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 02:14 AM by politick

in 1985 (?) in CA. Black male, escaped from jail. He was convicted, but a reporter unearthed evidence from an ex-cop who says the guy was framed. there's more to it, but I really don't know much else. He was supposed to be executed at midnight

(edited for more murder)

Appeals court bars Kevin Cooper execution

By DAVID KRAVETS
AP Legal Affairs Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court on Monday barred convicted killer Kevin Cooper's pending execution, saying evidence in his case should get a fresh look after 18 years of appeals.

The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals came less than eight hours before Cooper was to be executed by lethal injection for hacking four people to death in 1983.

California has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule the 9th Circuit and allow the execution to take place.
