About Me

I edited my profile with Thomasâ€™ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Kevin Cooper is an innocent African-American man on San Quentinâ€™s death row. He was sent to San Quentinâ€™s notorious East Block on trumped-up charges that held him responsible for the brutal 1983 San Bernardino, CA slaying of the Ryen family and a family friend.
On February 10, 2004, Kevin was scheduled to die by lethal injection in San Quentinâ€™s execution chamber, but a massive, international movement to stop the execution was successful in forcing the courts to issue a last minute stay of execution. Just 3 hours and 42 minutes before Kevin was to be strapped to the gurney, the word came to him in San Quentinâ€™s so-called death holding cell that he would be spared.
Today Kevin is still fighting for his life as well as his freedom.
Kevin has always maintained his innocence, and with the help of a new legal and investigative team, and more importantly a mass movement to end the imprisonment and execution of poor people and people of color, Kevinâ€™s innocence has been proven without a doubt. Not only are the charges against him false, but as you will find when the info is posted, the charges against Kevin are impossible to believe!
This is Kevin Cooper's page, and he will contribute to it by writing letters from death row. The person building the page is Rebecca Doran of the Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Any person or group interested in spreading the word on Kevin's case will be invited and encouraged to participate. Keep checking back for more info.
