Recently, Kim Kardashian has been re-branding herself by assisting incarcerated criminals get justice. Unfortunately, she’s now encountering issues with her latest case. Kevin Cooper was convicted of a seriously heinous crime back in 1983 and now Kim is attaching her celebrity in an attempt at getting him justice. But although she’s been praised for her efforts in the past a lot of people aren’t feeling this latest case.

In October 2018 Kim first mentioned Cooper on her Twitter feed as another felon allegedly incarcerated in error. His case, which involved the murders of four people in Chino Hills, California, intrigued her so much she requested his name be added to a list of people whose cases deserve to be looked over once again.
Governor Brown, please add Kevin Cooper to your legacy of smart, fair and thoughtful criminal justice reforms. https://t.co/OzhZIWdxWL

Following up with her initial support on May 31st Kim visited Cooper on San Quentin’s death row. Posting a photo to her Twitter, Kim immediately gave her impression during the meeting.
I had an emotional meeting with Kevin Cooper yesterday at San Quentin’s death row. I found him to be thoughtful and honest and I believe he is innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted. pic.twitter.com/FveajjjA5y

Cooper has maintained his innocence for decades, and although Kim has been making headlines for assisting with the release of other convicted felons this may be the case that ends her new career. Because people are reacting and they’re not happy about what she’s doing. Especially one of the victim’s family members.
