Kim Kardashian continues his efforts to change the American judicial system. The reality TV star, confined to her home in California, this time attacked the Ohio authorities, whom she accuses of having imprisoned an innocent man, in the person of Kevin Keith. Accused of triple murder in 1994, he narrowly escaped death when his execution was commuted to life imprisonment in 2010 by the governor of the day, Ted Strickland, when it became obvious that his trial had been marred by numerous procedural flaws.
The police rushed to judgment when they arrested Kevin. This innocent man went from living freely to having his world upended by a murder trial to death row in under 4 months. That's more than enough injustice for one person. OH needs to correct its mistake before it's too late. pic.twitter.com/SVEF25IwEO
- Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 22, 2020“The police went too fast when they arrested Kevin. This innocent man went from a free life to having his whole world turned upside down by a murder trial, then by a death sentence, in less than four months. It's a lot of injustices for one person. Ohio must fix this mistake before it's too late, ”Kanye West's wife posted on Twitter.
What if it worked?
This is not the first time that Kim Kardashian has spoken about the case of Kevin Keith, whom she has known since last July after a meeting by video conference and which she had already supported at the beginning of the month. The businesswoman, who studies law, believes that time is running out, while the coronavirus is wreaking havoc in American prisons, where it is impossible to follow the instructions of social distancing.
"While awaiting a court decision, he is trapped in a prison where at least one officer has contracted the Covid-19. Do not delay justice any more, "concluded the star. Efforts that might seem futile if Kim Kardashian had not already obtained the release of Alice Marie Johnson in 2018, after having intervened directly with Donald Trump.
More recently, the reality TV star had mentioned in his docu-series The Justice Project the case of Alexis Martin, a woman victim of sex trafficking since her 14 years, and sentenced to 21 years in prison for having killed her pimp. The current governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, has just commuted his sentence.
Thank you Governor DeWine !!!! 🙏🏼✨ https://t.co/MJEskyeOc2
