Kim Kardashian has angered the mother of an 11-year-old boy who was killed by the man the reality star is trying to get freed from a California prison.
On Thursday, Kim posed for a photo alongside convicted killer, Robert Cooper, who is on death row at the notorious San Quentin prison after launching a legal campaign to secure his release.
She spent two hours talking with the quadruple murderer in an 'emotional' meeting that has Kim convinced the 61-year-old has been framed.
But the mother of one of Cooper's victims says otherwise.
Mary Ann Hughes, the mother of Christopher Hughes, who was killed in 1983, says she believes that Cooper's attorneys 'are using her for her reality show status because they can't use the truth to try to help Kevin Cooper'.
'The truth just condemns him,' she told TMZ.

Kim took to Twitter to reaffirm her stance on Cooper's innocents on Friday
Kim and Cooper stood arm-in-arm to pose for a picture after the meeting.
She was dressed modestly in a black zip-up and smiled as she rested her head on the shoulder of the towering Cooper, who adorned a beaming grin.
'I had an emotional meeting with Kevin Cooper yesterday at San Quentin's death row,' the 38-year-old tweeted on Friday.
'I found him to be thoughtful, honest and I believe him to be innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted.'
But Hughes said she was disgusted to see Kardashian embracing Cooper.
'It makes me feel sick to my stomach and I pity her. For what she's doing to us, there's nothing to justify what she's doing to us, the immense pain she is causing us,' she told TMZ.
Hughes' son, Christopher, was killed in 1983 while he was staying at a friend's house.
He was murdered alongside Douglas and Peggy Ryens and their 10-year-old daughter Jessica, at their house in the Los Angeles suburb of Chino Hills.

Hughes said that it's obvious that Kim has 'not read all of the actual evidence'.
'She has bought into half truths perpetrated by the defense. If she actually sat down and read the transcripts of all the trials and appeals, she would be sick to her stomach to be in the same room with him,' Hughes told TMZ.
Ever since his arrest, Cooper has vehemently protested his innocence.

In October, Kim asked then-Governor of California Jerry Brown to re-open Cooper's case to investigate new potential evidence that may prove he's not the responsible culprit, prompting
