Change the Venue for the Trial!

Brian Laliberte, Ohio deputy first assistant attorney general, said late on 24th August to a Scottish newspaper," We will be retrying Mr. Richey in the near future."

We have taken a look at the Sixth Circuit Court's decision and, after consulting with the Putnam County Prosecutor, we have decided not to appeal the decision of the court."

He said that prosecutors will be preparing their new case over the next two or three months.

On Friday 31st August, a joint statement from the Office of The Attorney General and County Prosecutor Gary Lammers, was released saying they would retry together,the "high profile death penalty case of Kenneth Richey."

Consideration must be given to the fact that Kenneth Richey was advised by his attorney, at the original trial, to waive his right to a jury trial and accept a 3judge panel, because local feeling would not be conducive to a fair trial.

For Twenty-One years Kenneth Richey has fought to have evidence presented which may lead to his exoneration and to have it placed before a jury of his peers. The " High Profile" Richey retrial, should it proceed, will be held under the microscope of International Opinion and in the interest of justice, must be held at a venue removed from an area where gossip, on which "evidence" was based, has been transformed into folk-lore.

Why would a man remain on death row for 21 years when he could have been free after eleven, if only he would take a plea and admit guilt?

Conclusion, he REALLY is INNOCENT !
