Kim Kardashian's The System: The Case of Kevin Keith

Kim Kardashian's The System: The Case of Kevin Keith

In February of 1994, Kevin Keith was arrested and charged with a triple homicide in Bucyrus, Ohio. There is no physical evidence exclusively tying him to the crime, yet he has spent 28 years of his life behind bars, with many of those on death row. Kevin’s brother Charles, has always been convinced of his innocence, and to this day, works relentlessly to clear Kevin’s name. Over 8 episodes, Kim Kardashian and team will take a deep dive into the case, raise important questions, and try to shed light on a legal system that is often puzzling. Though it’s said, ‘innocent until proven guilty’, was Kevin Keith truly given a fair shot? Draw your own conclusions in this twisted and at times, unbelievable story.
