Democrats like Gov. Jerry Brown of California and Kamala Harris, the state attorney general before becoming a U.S. senator, refused to allow newly available DNA testing that might finally resolve the question of who committed the murders https://nyti.ms/2KzcavA pic.twitter.com/X0jOBuaVEH

“I’m frameable, because I’m an uneducated black man in America,” said Kevin Cooper, who lives on death row in San Quentin Prison. He has a message for Gov. Jerry Brown. https://nyti.ms/2KzcavA pic.twitter.com/qfTb8HtVPm

Just do the damn test! Stop being politicians and do the right thing! Are you afraid of finding the truth? What say you
@JerryBrownGov and@SenKamalaHarris? You can't say this is a hit piece when a life is at stake!#AsimpletestThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

FACT: I lived in California in 1983. Word within the law enforcement community was the boy who survived told investigators that three Mexicans had committed the murders. There were rumors of a coverup 35 years ago...
-
ADD: people who lived in Southern California at that time did not believe for a minute that only one man had committed that crime. It just wasn’t physically possible.

Makes me cringe guessing how many (mostly black men) have been framed & died in jail or executed. 100? 500? 5000? 1 is too many.

If a single test can prove his guilty or innocence then it should be done immediately. If he's guilty he made his bed BUT if he's innocent...

Really disappointed to see
@JerryBrownGov and@SenKamalaHarris have both played key roles in blocking the DNA testing. Both could partially atone by acting now.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Would this be a civil rights violation? A man knowingly framed by police?

This seems entirely wrong. I can't see how his conviction can possible stand. I hope he is exonerated & compensated for this injustice.

Here's what they never tell you about Kevin Cooper. After the Ryen murders, Cooper fled to Mexico, got a job on a boat and was arrested in Santa Barbara after raping a woman at knifepoint, threatening to cut her throat https://www.facebook.com/TheDevilAndTheDeathPenalty/posts/1032694440183656:0 …
