Kevin Cooper was sentenced to death in 1985 after he was convicted of hacking to death four people. The case against Cooper is, to put it mildly, unpersuasive.
The murders themselves were brutally heinous. Doug and Peggy Ryen; their 10-year-old daughter, Jessica; and sleepover guest Christopher Hughes were stabbed at least 143 times with an ice pick, an ax and a knife, and 8-year-old Joshua Ryen was lucky to survive a slashed throat.
That just happened to align with the theory advanced by San Bernardino County Sheriff’s investigators that the crime had been perpetrated by a single person: Cooper, a Black man and convicted burglar, who at the time of the murders was holed up in an adjoining vacant house after escaping from a nearby state prison.
And the people of California — in whose name Cooper has been imprisoned — deserve to know whether an innocent man has spent most of his adult life in prison, while the guilty were never pursued.
