    checks out. There is a movie called conviction about it.

    Also he died 6 months after being released:

    But just six months after his release in 2001, Kenny was having dinner with his mother and his brother when he decided to nip home to see if his nephews and nieces wanted them to bring some food home. He took a short cut over a fence, tripped, and fell 15 feet on to concrete. Thirteen days later, with Waters by his side in hospital, he died.

      Oof tragic

      well at least part of the journey involved his sister turning her own life around too, redeeming herself from a high school dropout to a licensed attorney. So that’s cool.

      RIP Kenny

      Epic story he left in his wake to smack the criminal justice system into getting its shit together.
