For 36 years Cooper has insisted he was innocent, with many high-profile supporters questioning the legitimacy of his arrest due to the questionable missing or tampered evidence and multiple murder weapons. This case may serve as a landmark trial to in undermining the death penalty in the state of California and even nationally.
