This is about Ken and the way he lived his life and the way he was denied his rights as a human being. He managed his life every day and was searching for something to complete him. He overcame his drinking and the obstacles in his life. Howard Stern seemed to be his idol and that is what seemed to start his career and fame, of which many people were jealous. Ken had gotten his life together and finally found his present love, Danielle. Their lives together were cut too short. Ken and I were close and he confided in me. He wouldn't even hurt a fly or a mouse or any living creature. He would always tell me he would take care of them by grabbing a tissue and gently throwing them out the door. It annoyed me because I wanted to smash them but his caring always showed through.
The girl that wrongly accused Ken of a crime that he never committed, and later admitted at the hearing that Ken never came near her, is going to meet her judge one day. This is also about the Delaware County "justice system" who never fully investigated the accuser, who has had many run ins with the law and a child of her own before the age of 16. If they had investigated, her citations would have shown she was a questionable accuser. This person took my only child from me and his promising future, just for yelling out the car window, "Hi, I'm Kenneth Keith." A predator doesn't announce his name. Ken had many friends, including past girlfriends who have called me to tell me what a good kind person he was. I've never heard an unkind word from hundreds of people who have e-mailed me, written, phoned or sent cards.
If the Delaware County officials, including police officers, detectives who showed me their nastiness again Ken, the district attorneys, the district judge, the probation offices, and everyone else involved in Ken's death, had done their jobs, Ken would still be here today with us who loved and cared for him. None of these people cared that ken has cystic fibrosis, and all showed their indifference and lack of caring.
Here is just one unforgivable violation of his rights. He was only accused of this terrible crime, never convicted, and was not allowed to say one word in his own defense at the preliminary hearing. But the GEO Group, which runs the jail, has a cruel practice of putting targets on people's backs. When I visited Ken I noticed that he was wearing a green shirt, another inmate a blue shirt and another a black shirt. His green shirt was to tell everyone that he was accused of a sex crime. In Delaware County, you're guilty until proven innocent.
In the month that Ken was in jail, his 120 pound frame wasted away to less than 100 pounds from malnutrition. He was denied his medications and help in his weakened condition and was not even sent to a hospital until it was too late. I wasn't even permitted to talk to him while he was in the medical section of the jail. No one would give me any information about him, citing the HIPAA privacy law, which in my opinion gives institutions the right to cover up what is going on behind the scenes. No one would even tell me how my son was doing. Help wasn't there for Ken as he struggled to breathe and get his medication. He was dumped at Riddle Hospital, unconscious, with a breathing tube stuffed down his throat, and I wasn't notified until the day after that, which was less than a day before he died.
If there are any officially who really want to stop the GEO Group from contributing to one more death, then please do something now. It's what Ken would want. He would not want to see a single soul hurt as he was.
Ken deserves to have his named cleared and to have justice for his untimely death. My heart and those who loved him need that for him. I know his soul won't rest and neither will mine.
Ken's site will be left open for Ken's fans as a tribute to him. Thank you and God bless all of you for taking time to visit.
