Kim Kardashian came to Ohio to talk Kevin Keith, whose case now rests in Gov. Mike DeWine's hands after the Ohio Parole Board voted 5-0 against his clemency request
DeWine has only dealt with two other clemency votes from the state’s parole board. In January 2019, on the day of his inauguration, the board voted 8-0 against clemency for Warren Henness . DeWine upheld the position, though he didn’t exactly say as much; he delayed Henness’s execution to Dec. 17, 2024.
More broadly, Keith also maintains a pending case before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, but this is another example of how tricky these post-conviction cases can be. As Troutman pointed out during the panel discussion, cases like Keith’s develop “calluses” as they circulate in courtrooms over time. Each successive attempt at relief is just that much harder to win.
“You have to realize the uphill battle to overturn a conviction, so tenacity is extremely important,” Troutman said. “And take care of yourself. You can’t take losses as the end.”Task Force on Conviction Integrity and Postconviction Review published its recommendations For those interested in the finer details, the report gets into some of the back-room debates over this proposal; we can see how task force members wrestled with the idea of “actual innocence” and the limits of attorneys’ “ability” to challenge convictions. There’s that fine line again. This particular recommendation did not earn a unanimous vote.
On this subject—the wide-ranging matter of wrongful convictions in the U.S.—political inertia is a powerful tool for the state. With time and repetitive motion, those “calluses” that Troutman mentioned tend to build up and calcify the status quo further.
