DEATH-row Scot Kenny Richey has made a personal plea to the newly elected Democrat governor of Ohio in a last-ditch bid for clemency.
Richey, who has been on death row in the state for almost 20 years, has written to Ted Strickland asking him to intervene against his conviction for the murder of a two-year-old in a house fire in 1986. Strickland secured victory in the state over Republican Bob Taft in the US midterm elections last week.
