A Missouri man, who has been in prison since 1978, was not responsible for the triple murder for which he was convicted, according to the prosecutor whose office put him in jail.
“All those who have reviewed the evidence in recent months agree Kevin Strickland deserves to be exonerated,” Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a statement released Monday. “This is a profound error we must correct now.”
According to a report by the Kansas City Star, Strickland was 18 when the 1978 shootings occurred inside a Kansas City home. Three of the four shooting victims were fatally injured, leaving one survivor, who was shot in the leg.
