COLUMBUS, Ohio — From the day of his arrest in 1994 for fatally shooting three people, Kevin Keith has proclaimed his innocence. Attorneys for Keith, who is black, also say the file shows the investigator was mentally unstable and used racial slurs against co-workers. Prosecutors say lower courts properly ruled nothing in Yezzo’s personnel file would have made a difference in the outcome. They also say Yezzo was placed on administrative leave until she met with a counsellor about her interactions with colleagues, but that was unrelated to her proficiency as an analyst. They also say Yezzo provided key evidence favouring Keith, that footprints from the scene did not match his shoes.
