Kezer's day in court

It's been 14 years since Joshua Kezer was convicted of the murder of Angela Mischelle Lawless, who was found dead near Benton in 1992. The past several months have seen Kezer involved in a process to try to clear his name after several things called the validity of the prosecution into question.
