The sixth reexamination of the still extant physical evidence related to Kevin Cooper’s 1985 multiple murder conviction ordered by Governor Gavin Newsom in May 2021 failed to establish that the now-6?-year-old who has spent the last 39 years in pretrial custody and prison [did not exonerate him of] [demonstrate he was wrongfully convicted for] the June 1983 murders of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica and 11-year-old neighbor Christopher Hughes in Chino Hills, according to the special counsel to the California Board of Parole Hearings.
The latest examination included a DNA analysis of evidence that was not technically possible at the time of the murders and which prosecutors resisted having performed. While lawyers who have long sought to have Cooper freed on the basis of their assertions that he was innocent and caught up in a frenzy of investigative and prosecutorial desperation to convict someone of the horrific and seemingly senseless slayings hoped the examination of the evidence would undergird their theories, the tests instead showed that the evidence used to convince a jury of his guilt was both “extensive and conclusive,” disproving his continuing claim that he was set up and convicted by the sheriff’s department’s planting of evidence to frame him.

For decades medical and mental health professionals warned about the toll that long-term or even shorter duration use of marijuana could have on an individual, impairing his physical and psychological well-being, power of recollection, cognitive skills, reasoning ability and sanity. And while the scientific data to back those caveats remains scattered, incomplete, inconclusive and less than fully convincing in all of its aspects, significant evidence accumulated over the last six years since California’s legalization of marijuana for its intoxicative effect shows that the widespread availability of the substance in the Golden State has resulted in a collective psychosis, one in which governmental function has become outright schizophrenic and compromised by clouded institutional memory.

Over the span of less than two weeks, two hikers on Mt. Blady were killed after falling and sliding on hard ice.
The identity of the first hiker to suffer a fatality this winter season has not been released.
The second victim was Crystal Paula Gonzalez-Landas, 56 of Covina, an experienced hiker and mother of four. She died under challenging conditions on January 8.
Gonzalez-Landas grew up in Covina and ran marathons in her teens and into her thirties. After a back injury, she reduced her running schedule and took up hiking more than a decade-and-a-half ago. She had hiked to the top of Mt. Baldy in the past and had also backpacked in the Sierras, hiking on one of those excursions to the peak of Mt. Whitney. Continue reading →
