Notre Dame Law School alumnus Charles Weiss took Joshua Kezer's case pro bono in September 2006 after all of Kezer's other post-conviction remedies had been exhausted. Kezer was 17 years old when he was accused of second-degree murder of a woman in Missouri. Kezer was convicted of the murder and armed criminal action.
A Missouri Circuit Court judge, noting the weak evidence against Kezer at his trial, ordered him released from prison in February 2009 after serving 16 years of his 60-year sentence.
The two will speak at 12:30 p.m. in 1140 Eck Hall of Law. The event is free and open to the public. More information about Kezer's case can be found on the law school's Web site.
