Death Row Scot confident of appeal success

Friday, 30 March 2007

 

DEATH Row Scot Kenny Richey says he is confident appeal court judges will rule in his favour and release him.

But Richey, who grew up in Edinburgh, admits it could be "weeks, months or years" before the decision is made.

 

 

 

Writing on the website she set up to campaign for his release, Karen Torley said: "I have spoken to Kenny several times this week and he is doing as well as he can in the circumstances he is forced to endure.

"Thankfully he still retains his sense of humour, which has helped him get along all these years. He joked that I should start a new campaign to God to stop us getting old.

"He is feeling positive that there will be a good decision from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, though he doesn't know when this will happen. As he says himself, 'it could be weeks, months or years'."

The 42-year-old has always protested his innocence over his conviction in Ohio 20 years ago for an arson attack that claimed the life of a toddler.
