Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered an independent investigation into the death-row case of Kevin Cooper.
From day one, Cooper has steadfastly asserted his innocence in the 1983 quadruple murder he was sentenced to death for. He was convicted in 1985 of the murders of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter, Jessica Ryen and 11-year-old neighbor, Chris Hughes. Joshua Ryen, then 8 years old, was the only survivor of the crime and told investigators that it was three white men who carried out the brutal murders. Despite Ryen’s eyewitness account, and other compelling evidence, Cooper, a Black man, was convicted and sentenced to be murdered by the state of California.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered an independent investigation into the case of
Kevin Cooper, who has consistently maintained his innocence in the 1983 quadruple-murder for which he was sentenced to death. Newsom’s May 28, 2021 executive order appoints the law firm Morrison and Foerster, LLP as Special Counsel to the California Board of Parole Hearings and directs the firm to “conduct a full review of the trial and appellate records in [Cooper’s] case and of the facts underlying the conviction.”
Newsom’s order issued in conjunction with 14 pardons, 13 commutations, and 8 medical reprieves granted in other cases directs Morrison and Foerster “to investigate, report, and make a recommendation” concerning Cooper’s application for clemency and claims of innocence. It also specifies that the firm’s investigation include an “evaluation” of “recently conducted DNA tests.”
