Reality star and business entrepreneur Kim Kardashian recently made headlines for helping release multiple prisoners and has even revealed she’s studying to be a lawyer. Now, she’s back at it.

Kardashian visited the notorious San Quentin State Prison in California on Thursday, May 30 and sat down with quadruple killer Kevin Cooper for two hours. She’s convinced he’s been framed, according to TMZ.

The 61-year-old was convicted of the murders of two parents, their 10-year-old daughter and her friend in Los Angeles in 1983 and has been awaiting death since. He’s always proclaimed he’s innocent.

In October of last year, Kardashian asked then-California Governor Jerry Brown to look into Cooper’s case because of evidence he was set up, prompting Brown to order a DNA test. Additionally, California’s new Governor, Gavin Newsom, who is against capital punishment, ordered more testing last February.

It’s been reported Kardashian visited Cooper so they could get to know one another while waiting on the results. People have been advocating for years that he’s been wrongly accused, saying DNA evidence was tampered with and although five judges agreed he’s been wrongly convicted, he still remained behind bars.

Kardashian has freed as many as 17 inmates by secretly funding a criminal justice campaign. Some of her campaigns have been well-publicized, including former sex slave Cyntoia Brown, Jeffrey Stringer, and Johnson, who spent 21 years in prison for a non-violent drug offense.

Recently, Kardashian helped get Stringer from Florida out of prison after he was locked up for more than two decades for a low-level drug case and tweeted she helped fund his case after he had been sentenced to life in prison.

She joins celebrities such as Rihanna and Cara Delevigne in calling for Brown, who served 12 years in prison for killing a man who paid her for sex when she was only 16, to be released.

The Buried Alive Project has tweeted updates of those it has helped and claimed to have aided 17 prisoners, including Terrence Byrd, Jamelle Carraway from Illinois, and Eric Balcom from Florida.
