Joseph Kelner, lead lawyer for the victims of the 1970 Kent State University shootings and their families, said jurors who cleared Ohio Gov. James Rhodes and other defendants of liability for the incident ignored the volume of evidence. We had thought the lapse of five years would bring to us the elements of a fair trial, he said. We regret to say it did not. He said the verdict will be appealed.
