Summary

Preview Of Our Upcoming Series On The Case Of California Death Row Inmate Kevin Cooper And His Possible Wrongful Conviction

**KD IS NO LONGER WITH ORBITAL JIGSAW OR BLUBRRY**

[FORMERLY TITLED THE 11th MAN] Dreamers, we are about to dive into a case that I would argue is the mother-load of all things you would expect to never happen in our justice system here in the United States. By the end of this story, if you are angry, sad, if you find yourself in disbelief or disillusioned and embittered about this travesty of justice, trust me, you are not alone. The crime itself, a horrifying massacre that stunned a quiet, rural community, was only compounded by a police investigation tainted with lies, manufacturing AND destruction of evidence, cover ups, witness intimidation, racism, and the overwhelming desire to force evidence to fit their narrative by any means necessary. We will we discussing the case of California death row inmate Kevin Cooper.
