Reality star Kim Kardashian announced she is working to free another convicted murderer.
Kardashian, 38, took to Twitter on Tuesday to share the story of Kevin Keith, who was convicted of murdering three people in Ohio, according to a report published by Page Six.
“I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Keith through a video visit & was so impressed w/ the amazing programs he created in prison to help others inside better themselves!” Kardashian tweeted. “So much evidence has been uncovered proving Kevin’s innocence. I hope justice is served soon & he is released.” (RELATED: Kim Kardashian Speaks At White House Hiring And Re-Entry Event As Part Of Criminal Justice Reform Campaign)
Keith was convicted of murdering three people in 1994 and was sentenced to death. However, roughly two weeks before his execution in 2010, Democratic Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland reduced his sentence to life in prison over concerns of Keith’s trial, according to Cleveland.com.
