Controversy Surrounds Pending Execution Of Kevin Keith

The Ohio Parole Board is now considering the fate of a death row inmate who many people think might be innocent. Much attention has been given to Kevin Keith, a man whose case has been taken up by the Innocence Project, a group that's been responsible for reversing convictions of some death row inmates in the past. But the state is not convinced Keith is innocent so it's pressing forward with plans to execute him next month. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles has details on the controversy
