Today on Flashpoints:
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals grants a stay of execution
for Kevin Cooper, but will the Supreme Court sustain the stay,
or vacate it? Cooper is due to be murdered by the state of
California at 12:01 tonight. We’ll feature late-breaking
interviews with Cooper’s lead attorney, as well as with
Jesse Jackson and witnesses whose information could lead to
exoneration of Kevin Cooper. Five of the jurors who convicted
Cooper, urge his execution be postponed. The Knight Report,
from New York;
5:01 PM PST
"If he is truly guilty, these simple tests will resolve
the matter. If he is truly innocent, those same tests will
tell us that," Browning wrote. "When the stakes
are so high, when the evidence against Cooper is so weak,
and when the newly discovered evidence of the state's malfeasance
and misfeasance is so compelling, there is no reason to
hurry and every reason to find out the truth."
