Case Summary
11-year-old Kevin Green was abducted and murdered as he rode home after riding bicycles with his friend. Kevin’s partially nude body would be found by his mother the next day lying in heavy brush beside a set of railroad tracks. it didn’t take long for authorities to arrrest Richard Lawler, a recently furloughed felon who had been sentenced to 8-40 years for kidnapping and raping two little boys. Based on overwhelming evidence a jury had no problem convicting Lawler of aggravated murder and kidnapping. Laweler was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole and likely escaped a death sentence because it was not an option at the time of crimes.
