The People vs. Kevin Cooper

Was Kevin Cooper Framed for Murder? In 1983, four people were murdered in a home in Chino Hills, California. The sole survivor of the attack said three white intruders had committed the murders. Then a woman told the police that her boyfriend, a white convicted murderer, was probably involved, and she gave deputies his bloody coveralls. So here’s what sheriff’s deputies did: They threw away the bloody coveralls and arrested a young black man named Kevin Cooper. He is now awaiting execution on Death Row in San Quentin State Prison.
