The wrong man?

In the beginning of 2006, Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter reopened a case resolved by Missouri courts in 1994. Unconvinced the right man was sent to prison for the murder of a Benton, Mo., college student named Angela Mischelle Lawless, Walter has been investigating old evidence.

On Monday, a judge will determine whether there is enough evidence to retry the case.

Here you'll find links to a three-part series the Southeast Missourian published in April and to our latest reporting on the case. We've recently added audio of U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, Republican candidate for governor, talking about Kezer's conviction. Hulshof was the prosecutor in the case.
