Pardon Keon M. Corley 55 Year Sentence

Created by K.C. on May 25, 2015

In December, 2007, after prosecutor's witnesses and judicial officals perjured the court a Cook County jury found Keon Corley guilty of the first-degree murder of Kevin Hoard Jr., 17. According to an Chicago Tribune article officals stated, that he had personally discharged a firearm.. Throughout the trial no weapon was ever introduced as evidence to prove allegations that Corley discharged a firearm. A second victim stated that Corley was not the shooter. Judicial officials violated Due Process Laws and withheld exculpatory evidence that would have returned a NOT GUILTY verdict. Instead Corley was sentenced to 55 years in prison for a crime he DID NOT commit. Keon has served 10 years of his life behind bars for another man's crime enduring everything except justice.
