<div>*PREVIOUSLY POSTED INFO*
</div>
<div>Thank you for signing <a href="https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/theres-no-evidence-bring-kevin-home/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kevin Keith​'s petition​</a> to help free him from his wrongful conviction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update: On August 15, 2023, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals announced its decision denying Keith relief.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kethledge, J. delivered the opinion of the Court in which Siler, J. joined in full:
</div>
<div>"We thus agree with our concurring colleagues only the evidence at trial and the new evidence relied upon by Keith post - trial - - that Keith cannot show that every reasonable juror would have reasonable doubt about his guilt. Considering that evidence alone, rather, we think that only some - - and perhaps most - - jurors likely would find reasonable doubt."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In furtherance, Helene, N. White, Circuit Judge, concurring in part: " I concur in the judgement because I agree that Petitioner Kevin Keith fails to clear the exceedingly high bar of 28 U.S.C. 2244 (b)(2)(B)(ii). There is no question that Keith would have had a better chance of acquittal had the Brady material been known to his defense.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In other words, or in laymen terms: What the judges meant above is that there is INDEED issue with the evidence in Keith's case (enough!), in that "some - - and perhaps most - - jurors likely would find reasonable doubt" in Keith's case.
</div>
<div>Particularly, as pointed out by Justice White, Keith would've had a better chance of acquittal had the Brady material been known to Keith's defense."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Governor DeWine is still considering Kevin's request for executive clemency, and that decision could happen at any time, although it seems unlikely while litigation continues.
</div>
<div>And so, we wait.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Meanwhile, Kevin calls every so often to say hello, and in the past week he asked for support in two specific ways:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Kevin has some documents he wants to mail to members of the media across the country about his innocence, and needs help with funds for postage.
</li>
<li>Kevin hopes that his supporters might chip in to help him order some special birthday and holiday foods.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kevin's family wants to help, and yet they continue to struggle with limited income and all of the direct effects of poverty. If you are able to support Kevin's family and help them support Kevin's requests at this time, please donate on this page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Charles Kieth's trajectory was on the rise. He was in college with dreams of being a psychologist. Then one day while roll call was being taken in a class, someone heard his name and asked, "Are you related to that guy that was just arrested for those murders in Bucyrus?"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That was more than 30 years ago. Charles left school to go help his brother, Kevin Keith, who was wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for a crime he had nothing to do with. (<a href="https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/theres-no-evidence-bring-kevin-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See case information and sign the petition</a> .)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>BUT, having not finished college, and with Charle's life being consumed in the decades-long effort to free his brother, Charles continues to live close to the poverty line. At this writing, Charles does not have a dependable vehicle and he lives with his mother. Charles works part-time for Death Penalty Action, but that organization can only pay him so much, and he needs a significant cash infusion to allow him to establish himself anew.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal of this GoFundMe is to give Charles Keith ad his family the necessary funding to cover ongoing needs and also support their loved one in prison.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>If you want to help Charles directly, he uses Paypal charlesekeith6 &lt;at&gt; gmail.com and Cashapp - $CharlesEKeith6 -- . Otherwise, please chip in here. Thank you!
