Missouri Supreme Court won t hear Kevin Strickland s case. He s innocent, prosecutors say Luke Nozicka, The Kansas City Star
Jun. 2 Over the last 40 years, Kevin Strickland tried by himself, at least 17 times, to get his claims heard by Missouri courts. He has never received a hearing.
In his most recent attempt, Strickland had well-known innocence attorneys who filed his petition with rare and overwhelming support from Jackson County s prosecutors, Kansas City s mayor and others who called for his exoneration and release. They have determined Strickland has spent four decades in prison for a triple murder he did not commit.

The Missouri Supreme Court decided Tuesday they would not hear Kevin Strickland’s case, but Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said she would continue to pursue justice in Strickland’s attempt to exonerate himself.
