OTTAWA, 7 a.m., Oct. 2 — Kenneth Richey will return to the same courthouse where he was sentenced to death this morning, this time in hopes of being given his freedom until a new trial begins.
Richey will attend a bond hearing at 10 a.m. today at the Putnam County Courthouse.

Richey, 43, will be retried by former Ohio 10th District Court of Appeals Judge Alan Travis in the 1986 fire death of 2-year-old Cynthia Collins in a Columbus Grove apartment complex. He was convicted at a 1987 trial and sentenced to death, but a federal appellate court overturned the conviction and ordered a new trial.
Unless he posts bond, Richey will remain in the Putnam County jail until his trial is complete, which may be early next year.
