Missouri Governor Does Not Pardon Kevin Strickland, Who Prosecutor Says Is Wrongfully Imprisoned


KCUR 89.3
Kevin Strickland s name is not among the 36 people listed for pardon from Gov. Mike Parson on May 31.
Gov. Mike Parson could still choose to pardon Strickland, which would be exceedingly rare, but Strickland s legal team is pursuing other options for release and exoneration.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson passed on an opportunity to release a Kansas City man who has spent 43 years behind bars for a crime prosecutors say he did not commit. Parson left Kevin Strickland off the latest list of pardons.
The move leaves Kevin Strickland and his attorneys disappointed, and with fewer options for his exoneration.
It s hard to imagine how everyone can know someone s innocent and he s still there, said Tricia Rojo Bushnell, director of the Midwest Innocence Project. At this point, no one with power has done the things to let him out. ....

Because of confusion over whether innocence is enough for a non-death penalty conviction to be overturned in Missouri, Kevin Strickland remains incarcerated at a prison in DeKalb County.
Despite being declared innocent by the prosecutor s office that convicted him, Kevin Strickland is still doing time for a triple-murder from decades ago that he was not involved in.
It’s been nearly a month since the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office found that evidence used to prosecute and imprison Kevin Strickland for more than 40 years was flawed, and
“My job is to protect the innocent,” the county’s top prosecutor, Jean Peters Baker, said when she presented the findings at a press conference. “It is important to recognize when the system has made wrongs, and what we did in this case was wrong.” ....

Kelley Henry hadn’t been on an airplane for nearly seven months when she learned the Department of Justice had set an execution date for Lisa Montgomery, who was the only woman on the federal government’s death row.
It was a Friday in October when the warden of Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, called and put Montgomery on the phone with Henry and her co-counsel, Amy Harwell. Montgomery was crying and could barely speak.
“With Lisa, there was no just talking with her over the phone,” says Henry, the supervisory assistant federal public defender based in Nashville, Tennessee, who had represented Montgomery since 2012. Henry explains that as a child, Montgomery was sex trafficked by her mother and gang-raped by adult men, which exacerbated severe mental health issues that existed on both sides of her family. “We needed to physically observe her,” Henry says ....
