Ohio gov spares killer who claimed innocence
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A condemned inmate had his life spared Thursday when Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland cited "legitimate questions" about evidence used to convict the inmate, even though the governor believes the prisoner committed the crimes.
Strickland questioned some of the eyewitness testimony against Kevin Keith, who was scheduled to die Sept. 15, and says he's bothered that other possible suspects weren't fully investigated.
Strickland said Keith has appeals available that could lead to a full reexamination of the crime, but he also acknowledged that might not happen.
Strickland said that despite evidence supporting Keith's guilt, "many legitimate questions have been raised regarding the evidence in support of the conviction and the investigation which led to it."
The "case is clearly one in which a full, fair analysis of all of the unanswered questions should be considered by a court," Strickland said.
