This is one inspirational and strong woman, she is a Tiger. There are extremely few like her out there.

[@joanaisabelcolltruyol3090]

Yes....so sad...He died six months later...but he was a free man at last.....There are many people who are innocent and this cannot be proved....they must stay in prison or the worst of all they get DEATH PENALTY....

[@illyriaarberya9242]

[@fazzinho10]

Wow such a beautiful sister to commit herself to freeing her innocent brother! truly heartwarming. Her brother's innocence was her Conviction. :)

[@Adara007]

What police did to Kenny, deliberately framing him for the murder he never committed is atrocious and nothing can replace his lost 18 years in prison for a crime he never committed. This case shows just how far LE will go to frame someone they don't like. They framed Kenny because he'd had run-ins with police, and had assaulted at least one policeman at some point in time. Indeed, he was in court to answer the assault charges at the time the murder was committed and the police knew this. They had the timecard(s) proving his presence in court then in their possession but somehow 'lost' these and claimed they never had any such cards. The police also pressured his 2 ex-girlfriends, with hours of interrogation and threats to arrest them coupled with the suggestion(s) that they would 'go easy' on any of these exes own criminal charges and cases.
When Betty Anne White, pretending to be undertaking research, phoned relentlessly to try to locate items used in the murder and at the crime scene, she was told, again and again, these items had been "destroyed." Eventually, they were 'found' and she was able to get them tested at an independent laboratory for DNA. Had the Avery police realised Betty Anne's true aim, to prove her brother's innocence, they would most likely have ensured any items stored from the murder were actually destroyed!
Throughout the work by Betty Anne and the Innocence Project, the police continued to claim items used in the murder had been lost or were destroyed, with one policeman who'd 'worked on' the case but retired had been storing items critical to the crime scene in a storage unit and denied Betty Anne White access to these so she had to get a subpoena to have them turned over. When the full police files were finally released, it was proven that the police claim that they had fingerprint evidence implicating Kenny in the murder never existed. access to Kenny's sister, Betty Anne White, until she obtained a subpoena.
Kenny spent 18 years in prison for a murder he never committed, and 6 months after being released - the 83rd person in the U.S.A. to be released and proven innocent via DNA evidence - Kenny slipped on concrete and struck his head on the pavement, passing away 13 days later in hospital with Betty by his side. She never practised as an attorney after that, returning to bar work although she did volunteer for the Innocence Project.
