Timeline
Kerry Max Cook (born 1956) is an American former death row inmate who was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of 21-year-old Linda Jo Edwards in 1977.
Kerry Max Cook was born in Stuttgart, West Germany, and moved to Texas with his family in 1972.
He served over 20 years in a Texas prison on Death Row.
Since his release, he has become an activist against the death penalty, speaking across the United States and in Europe.
The Exonerated has been made into a film, which first aired on the CourtTV cable television station on January 27, 2005.
At the end the film fades from the actor to Cook himself who talks about his experience, his family and his book writing.
Although he is out of prison and has never admitted guilt, Cook is still considered a convicted murderer under Texas law.
Cook and his lawyer Marc McPeak have filed a motion to perform DNA tests on physical evidence found at the murder scene.
McPeak also filed a motion to recuse Judge Jack Skeen, the former district attorney who prosecuted Cook's first two trials, as Skeen would be the one to hear the DNA-testing motion.
Cook wrote Chasing Justice, which was published by HarperCollins in 2008, that details his conviction, the widespread prosecutorial abuses which led to it, and the battle to prove his innocence.
Chasing Justice was nominated for the Edgar Award by Mystery Writers of America.
He was awarded a Soros Justice Fellowship to write the book.
In an advance blurb for the memoir, former FBI Director and Federal Judge William S. Sessions noted, "Kerry Max Cook has written a brutal but compelling account of his 22 years on Texas’s death row for a murder he did not commit. The book depicts his struggles against all odds to free himself from an inept justice system that would not let go, despite mounting and eventually overwhelming evidence of his innocence. What is perhaps most amazing is the grace with which he now lives his life as a free man, determined to prevent others from suffering the horrors he endured."
This details how each individual was convicted of murder and sentenced to death, in addition to their exoneration after varying years of imprisonment.
Cook often personally participates in the play.
On April 9, 2012, Administrative Judge John Ovard of Dallas granted Cook's request for DNA testing but denied his plea to move the case out of Smith County, where prosecutors who originally tried his case were found by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to have committed "egregious prosecutorial misconduct."
Cook's battle to clear his name has been taken up by the online petition site Change.org.
On June 6, 2016, prosecutors agreed to drop the charges against Kerry Max Cook; this was motivated in part by James Mayfield's admission that he had lied about not having sex with the victim for weeks.
