9th Circuit Court Intervenes for Hatchet Murderer

True to form, the infamous 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has now gone ahead and intervened for hatchet murderer Kevin Cooper.

"There should be no hurry to execute Cooper," grumbled Judge James R. Browning, as if two decades is a "hurry."



Sean Penn and Danny Glover must be weeping with joy. Perhaps one of these Hollywood millionaires will consider opening his mansion to Cooper if a court frees him.


Only time will tell if America will have another Carlie Brucia-style murder on its hands.

The court made the right decision. There is apparently new DNA and other evidence that has recently come to light which may exonerate him. This isn't a case of a certain confessed killer who's just dragging on saying he shouldn't be executed because he's found the lord. There is a legit question as to innocence. Anytime that exists and where there is new evidence that can be examined, it should be. Illinois had a dozen so-called killers on death row for over 10 years who were later found to be innocent by new DNA evidence. If courts had taken your position these innocent people would have been executed, rather than freed.
