Kim Kardashian: Guardian of Justice?

Emboldened by her success at getting Donald Trump to pardon drug offender Alice Marie Johnson, Keeping Up with The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian is testing her newfound powers by advocating for another convict. This time she's trying to clear a death-row inmate who claims to have been wrongfully convicted. Kardashian is pushing for California Governor Jerry Brown to order a DNA test that could clear the man. It remains to be seen whether or not Brown is as susceptible to the pleas of the reality star as Trump was. Read on for details.

Kim Kardashian is on another case.

The reality-TV queen tweeted about the plight of San Quentin Prison death-row inmate Kevin Cooper – asking California Gov. Edmund “Jerry” Brown to retest DNA evidence in his case.

“Governor Brown, can you please test the DNA of Kevin Cooper?” Kardashian, 37, tweeted twice on Saturday, along with New York Times articles about the case.

Cooper, 59, was convicted of the murders of Douglas and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica and her friend, 10-year-old Chris Hughes, in Chino Hills, Calif., 1985.

Since his conviction, Cooper has maintained his innocence and has exhausted all appeals for his conviction, according to the San Diego Tribune.

In an op-ed on Sunday, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote that the sole survivor of the murders, 8-year-old Joshua Ryen, told investigators the killers had been three or four white men – but that cops preferred to focus on Cooper instead.

Last month, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-San Francisco) also called on the governor to allow the DNA to be retested.
