Welcome to The Kenny Richey Page

I have just returned from Ohio, after visiting Kenny which coincided with the latest news that the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals had denied the State's request for a rehearing.

Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet said:

A REQUEST to overturn a United States appeal court?s decision to free death-row Scot Kenny Richey has been unanimously refused.

Richey, who has been under a death sentence in an Ohio prison for 18 years, must now be set free by the state unless it mounts a retrial within 90 days.
