A woman who served six years for a crime she says she didn’t commit is now free thanks to the Innocence Project.

Susan King was in prison for the 1998 death of Kyle Deenie Breeden of Shelbyville.

The Kentucky Innocence Project told the court when the state police case went cold, a state trooper picked it up and 18 days later named King as the killer. He said she threw Breeden’s body into the Kentucky River after a domestic dispute.

In 2012, a Louisville police detective contacted the Innocence Project after Richard Jarrell confessed to the crime. According to a motion filed in court, a KSP detective tried to coerce Jarrell into taking back the confession.

“Unbelievable, because I’ve been let down so many times and treated so wrongly that it’s hard to believe to finally, maybe, the right thing has been done,” King said.

The Kentucky Innocence Project plans to push the case forward. The man who confessed to the crime still hasn’t been charged.

He was arrested last week and remains in the Powell County jail.

While Wethington currently lives in Lexington, he previously served as a youth minister at Stanton Christian Church, according to the director of Teen Mission, USA, a group out of Lexington where Wethington served as a board member.

Director Greg Herriford called Wethington a “good board member who showed no signs of anything like this” referring to the rape charges.

As a volunteer with Teen Mission, Wethington lead several mission trips.

Herriford says Wethington also served at a church in Harrison County before serving in Stanton. No one with Stanton Christian Church was available to comment on the rape allegations.

Wethington declined a request for an interview.
