Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen.

Host Latahra Carnes speaks with Keith Carnes and Cliff Middleton about the conviction integrity unit in the Jackson County Missouri Prosecutor’s office.  Latahra is the founder of the KC Freedom Project.

Keith Carnes was held in prison after his wrongful conviction for first-degree murder sentenced him to life without parole in 2006.  Keith Carnes steadfastly maintained that he did not commit the murder and began a series of appeals through the Missouri Courts.  He was released in 2022.

Cliff Middleton is the son of Kenneth Middleton, a Missouri man from Jackson County, who was convicted of first-degree murder of his wife, Kathy, and sentenced to 200 years in prison without the chance of parole. Now, over 30 years into that sentence, he and his family are adamant that an official review of the case would show that he was not responsible.

Kenneth Middleton’s son, Cliff Middleton, has been campaigning for his father’s freedom since the conviction, for over three decades now. Kenneth Middleton is currently incarcerated at Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron, MO. He is 78 years old, and after over 30 years of imprisonment, he still maintains his innocence and talks with his son about it often.

Cliff will tell listeners about a rally to free Ken Middleton.
