Welcome to The Kenny Richey Page

A HOST of leading Scottish actors and literary figures - including Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh - are collaborating on the production of a controversial play about death row Scot Kenny Richey.

The dramatisation of Richey's conviction for the murder of a two-year-old girl in Ohio in 1986 has already attracted actor David Hayman, of ITV's Trial And Retribution series, and River City stars Tam Dean Burn and Carmen Pieraccini.

Hi Everyone,

I am guessing if you are reading this you are checking out Kenny's site and could even be a supporter.

It's hard when you look at a case like Kenny's and not to see the whole thing as being overwhelming. It is hard not to think .......... I'm only one person what can I do ?

The fiance of Kenny Richey said last night that the Scot will have to wait at least 18 months on death row before there is any chance of his release.

A leading human rights campaigner, whose story was told in the film Dead Man Walking , has called for Death Row Scot Kenny Richey to be freed. Sister Helen Prejean says Richey was not properly defended at his trial. Richey was convicted of a murder he claims he did not commit and has been on death row in Ohio since.
