Susan Jean King, an innocent, is in jail currently?
Louisville (KY) Metro Police Detective Barron Morgan heard Richard
Jarrell’s confession and immediately told his supervisor, the Commonwealth’s
Attorney, and after they ignored him, people’s hero Barron Morgan informed the
Kentucky Innocence Project. Louisville
Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad, lead case detective Todd Harwood, and the
police department did not want Richard Jarrell’s confession to be known to
anyone, especially the Kentucky Innocence Project. Barron Morgan contacted the
Kentucky Innocence Project after Harwood refused to interview Jarrell and told
Louisville detectives that “we were opening a can of worms,” Morgan later told
the assistant chief in a memo. Morgan
said that, when he re-interviewed Jarrell the next week, Jarrell told him that
Harwood had come to talk to him but had given him the impression “he wanted him
to keep his mouth shut.” Harwood denied
he discouraged Jarrell from cooperating but was unable to produce a recording
of the interview, saying he had lost his tape recorder. After Kentucky State
Police complained in May that the detective was interfering with King’s
conviction, which came after the crime went unsolved for eight years, Conrad
ordered an investigation, according to the documents, which Morgan’s lawyer,
Thomas Clay, obtained under an open-records request. “I understand the need for justice, but I’m
not sure I understand contact with an outside group before we know what we’re
dealing with,” Conrad wrote to his assistant chiefs on May 28. “Unless there
was some compelling reason for Detective Morgan to contact the Innocents (sic)
Project, we need to initiate an internal investigation to understand why he
didn’t treat the information in a confidential manner,” Conrad wrote to his
deputies later the same day. The next
day, Maj. David P. Ray told Assistant Chief Kenton Buckner in an email that he
had spoken to a Kentucky State Police lieutenant colonel and “apologized on
behalf of LMPD for Morgan sticking his nose in this.” Police Chief Conrad now
says that the emails were only an “initial reaction” and Morgan “should have
taken this situation up the chain of command.”
However, Conrad’s claim is contradicted a judge’s statement that Morgan
only shared the confession after consulting with his supervisor and the county
commonwealth attorney’s office. The Kentucky State Police contacted the
Louisville Metro Police Department in May and demanded that it bar one of its
detectives from cooperating with the Innocence Project. Testifying in July during a hearing on King’s
motion for a new trial, KSP Lt. Jeff Medley acknowledged that his captain
ordered him to ask Louisville Metro Police commanders to call off Barron Morgan
because “he hadn’t investigated the case and didn’t know all the facts.”

Kerry Porter, imprisoned for murder, is exonerated, freed
after 14 years.
Louisville Courier Journal, 12/19/11, by: Andrew Wolfson. After
serving 14 years behind bars for a murder he insisted he didn’t commit, a
stunned Kerry Porter learned Monday that he was exonerated and hours later was
released from prison. “He was virtually speechless,” said Melanie Lowe, who won
Porter’s exoneration after a five-year battle. He said it was a lot to take in
… and that he was a little nervous” about returning to the real world, she
said. “He’s never held a cell phone or seen a flat-screen TV.” Jefferson
Circuit Judge Irv Maze signed an order dismissing Porter’s conviction and
ordering him released “immediately and without delay” in the 1996 murder of
Tyrone Camp. That came after Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Stengel agreed to
clear Porter. “We have finally come to the conclusion that Kerry Porter did not
commit the offense,” Stengel said at a news conference. Kerry Porter, who was
serving 60 years for murder at the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex in
West Liberty — and wouldn’t have been eligible for release until 2040 — has
always maintained that another man, Juan Leotis Sanders, was responsible for
Camp’s slaying. Stengel said his office hopes to charge others for the murder
and has several suspects, whom he wouldn’t name. But Lowe and Stengel offered
starkly contrasting explanations for what led to Porter’s wrongful conviction. Lowe
blamed it on “investigative tunnel vision” on the part of police and the
prosecution, while Stengel said Porter destroyed his own credibility by making
up a story that he was with his girlfriend at the time of the crime. She turned
out to have been in a drug-rehab clinic.

William Gregory was freed in 2000 when newly available DNA
testing showed he had been unjustly convicted seven years earlier for rape and
attempted rape, he sued the city of Louisville and the state and won
settlements totaling $4.6 million.

Edwin Chandler was awarded by a Louisville jury of $8.5
million.
Major told WAVE 3 he hopes this case spurs lawmakers and
legal experts to take a closer look at the death penalty and legislation that
dictates how police interrogations are conducted.
Eight-and-a-half million dollars for nine years a Louisville
man never should have spent behind bars -- that's the settlement reached
between the city and a man convicted and then exonerated for murder. It’s the
largest wrongful-conviction settlement in Louisville in years.

In 1982, Michael VonAllmen was arrested and charged with
rape and related crimes. After serving 11 in prison for the crime, he was
released on parole. In 2010, courts overruled the conviction. In 2011,
VanAllman sued the police department over the case, claiming misconduct had led
to his false conviction.
Judge it!
