Death Penalty Focus, Keith Henness, special two-hour episode of 48 Hours about Kevin Cooper, Chinonye Chukwu’s Film “Clemency”, Domenique Ray, California’s death penalty and Proposition 66
CBS News aired a special two-hour episode of 48 Hours on Kevin
Cooper’s innocence case a few weeks ago on January 26th.
In May of last year, Nicholas Kristof published an explosive column in the New York Times, reviewing the evidence and concluding that it points to people other than Kevin. You can still read it here if you missed it.
The 48 Hours episode will include interviews with Kristof, Kevin’s attorney Norman Hile, and DPF Board Director Thomas R. Parker, a retired FBI agent who reinvestigated the case.

Before he left office, former Gov. Jerry Brown ordered new, albeit limited, DNA testing for evidence gathered in Kevin’s case. It was a step in the right direction, but it stopped short of a true innocence investigation that we were all hoping for.
