His case was back in front of the Ninth Circuit Court with 27 judges.
While the majority refused to review his case, 11 of them disagreed.
One judge, William Fletcher, wrote in a scathing 100-page dissent, the state of California may be about to execute an innocent man.
And there is substantial evidence that three white men, rather than Cooper, were the killers.
In a lecture, he pointed to contradictions in the only survivor's account.
Josh Ryan first indicated the assailants were three white or Mexican men.
Judge Fletcher believes Josh's memory was influenced by a deputy who had visited Josh approximately 20 times during the hospital stay.
The deputy got Josh to change his story so that he no longer said three or four white men did it.
The judge also noted Josh never identified Kevin Cooper.
It's what Cooper's lawyers have been saying all along.
As soon as they identified Kevin Cooper, a black escaped prisoner, in the house down the hill from the Ryans, they stopped looking for those people and focused entirely on proving that Kevin Cooper had killed the Ryans.
Judge Fletcher also questions the key piece of evidence in this case.
That tiny drop of blood the state says proves Kevin Cooper was inside the Ryan home.
At first, the criminalist said it was one blood type, and later, he said it was another.
When he found out that he'd put the wrong blood type down, that he had not matched it to Kevin, he changed his notes to say it was the same blood type as Kevin's.
The judge says the criminalist altered his lab notes and claimed that he had misinterpreted his results.
And that's not all.
Remember those cigarette butts found in the Ryan station wagon?
Defense attorney Norman Heil believes they came from the home where Cooper had been hiding out.
When they found the Ryan station wagon, they planted those two cigarette butts.
