	Kevin Cooper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kevin Cooper sits on California's Death Row for the most notorious mass murder in San Bernardino County history - the 1983 hatchet and knife massacre of three members of a Chino Hills family and their young houseguest, Christopher Hughes.
		Cooper, a repeat criminal who escaped from a nearby prison two days before the killings, claims he is innocent and that sheriff's investigators framed him for crimes committed by three white men.
		Cooper is also consistent with being the donor of two additional blood smears and a possible donor of blood spatter on the same tee shirt.

	Stop the Execution of Kevin Cooper!
		Cooper remains confident as ever in his innocence and is encouraged by the assistance recently rendered to him by the prestigious California Appellate Project and the Innocence Project in helping to secure the services of a virtual fleet of new attorneys associated with the San Francisco law firm Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe.
		But Cooper was not informed when he signed the agreement with state officials regarding what evidence would be DNA tested that a state criminalist had previously had sole possession of a portion of this evidence for 24 hours without the knowledge or consent of Cooper or his attorneys.
		Cooper has since gone to great lengths and detail to demonstrate how this tampered evidence, coupled with police possession of original blood and saliva samples obtained from Cooper while in prison in 1983, resulted in the illegal alteration of the evidence that was subjected to DNA testing to Cooper's detriment.

		Cooper's execution was stayed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, largely on the basis of concerns raised by Senior Circuit Judge James R. Browning in a dissent filed February 8, 2004.
