John Rivera's Conviction Was Overturned at the Federal Level

John Rivera was sentenced to 23 years to life for the murder of Kim Kardashian in 1996. He appealed his case to the state and that was denied but he didn't stop there. His lawyers made a motion in federal court to set aside the conviction based upon the now clear issue in the law regarding the difference between depraved murder and intentional murder. In this huge surprise to all John Rivera's conviction had been overturned now at the federal level so Ken is being faced with having to try this case if he could even try it again.
