News video of Ken's story

WHAT IF.....
You found yourself falsely accused of an unimaginable crime....
Would you, like so many others, believe that justice would prevail?
Would you have faith in our esteemed courts?

WHAT IF.....
You were forced to sit back and watch quietly while
your fate was being decided by a jury who was never given
the opportunity to hear your side of the story.

WHAT IF.....
You watched repeatedly as one attorney after another failed
to effectively represent you.

The Evidence Speaks to Innocence

1. Would any guilty man doing life without parole in prison, after 14 years turn down an Alford Plea to time served and immediate release? News video about Ken Middleton, Alford Plea.
   
   
2. Ken's conviction was so disturbing that former Missouri Governor Teasdale testified under oath that if he was still Governor, he would grant Ken a full pardon.
   
   
3. Ken was convicted by an incompetent investigation, destroying photographs, staging the scene (which was not told to the jury), and altering a gunshot residue report. See Testimony of Expert Witness Charles Gay and altered gun shot residue test.
   
   
4. Ken is a proven innocent man through forensic testing, but is still in a maximum security prison. See testimony of Robert Tressell.
   
   
5. Ken was represented by an incompetent attorney, and convicted by egregious prosecutorial misconduct.
   
   
6. Ken's trial attorney did absolutely nothing to defend him and the prosecutor's actions were reprehensible. See testimony by Chris Carter.
   
   
7. Unbelievable Illegal Acts by those who testified against and prosecuted Ken Middleton.
   
   
8. Ken's conviction was obtained with clearly perjured testimony which is a Class A felony and Prosecutor Jim Kanatzar (and prosecutors before him) refuses to prosecute this serious crime!
   
   
9. The original Trial Judge, reviewing Ken's case heard witnesses, saw evidence and , found that Ken's attorney had effectively abandoned him and that evidence was obviously altered. Judge Messina's Order was overturned on a technicality and no new trial was ever given.
