On Friday October 2, just four days before he was to be executed, Kimber Edwards received a commutation of his sentence to life imprisonment from Missouri Governor Jay Nixon one of the most aggressively pro-death penalty governors in the nation. (Back when he was Missouri Attorney General, Nixon had once argued that innocent people could be executed so long as they were given due *process.)
The attached affidavit goes a long way towards explaining why Edwards' sentence was commuted. He almost certainly is innocent.
