With a conviction based on deeply flawed witness testimony, and emerging evidence pointing to an alternative suspect, doubts about his guilt continue to grow. Yet Kevin Keith is scheduled to be put to death by the state of Ohio on September 15. He has a clemency hearing on August 11, and he is still hoping for a court to grant him a new trial, but time is slipping away.
