| Kerry Lyn and Victoria ; April 26th, 2014. Below, 4/27/14, I had another wonderful visit with my dear sister. |

This June is Kerry's anniversary of 19 years living on CCWF Death Row - and yet her case has never been reviewed - no appeal after 19 years.
I ask those of you who believe the system has fail-safe checks in place to think about how this can happen.
Her case record is open to public access, find the status here:

If you are newly aware of Kerry Lyn's case, there are many details on the earlier posts of this blog - ones you won't find anywhere else. Please take time to look through the posts.
A quick synopsis:
What began as a missing person's claim Autumn of 1988, grew into unsubstantiated rumors of murder (fanned by the San Diego Metropolitan Homicide Task Force, who were under pressure to solve a serial murder case).
Over 6 1/2 years later, Kerry was on trial with out any one even declared deceased!
With out any physical evidence: No Body, No Blood, No Weapon, No Crime Scene, Kerry Lyn was convicted on hearsay and snitch testimony February 1995. She was given a Death sentence after the penalty phase (which commenced 5 days later and ended in 4 days).
To this day there are no forensics to question, to prove any murder or even a crime.
Kerry has continually maintained her innocence, charged in May 1992 (the claims she confessed were reported by Richard L. Cooksey, eventual lead investigator on the case, prosecuting attorney Jeff Dusek's investigator. Mr. Cooksey took the stand 5 times during Dalton's trial, to "correct" witnesses testimonies, give his theories, and to state a snitch told him there was a confession.)
Because of the frustrations with waiting for the system to correct this wrongful conviction, and believing totally in my sister's innocence, I published the trial transcripts for the public to see in the book CAGES. You can see for yourself, read the exact trial, and help us make the wheels of justice turn - they have been at a standstill for too long!
Please help us gain Kerry Lyn her life back!! Please help me bring my sister home...Write me for more info, get involved with the case, contact officials in California, support our efforts on Kerry's behalf.
