Welcome to The Kenny Richey Page

Kenny told me tonight that the application to be moved to County Jail has been made by his attorneys.

Ohio Attorney General's Office and Putnam County Prosecutor to retry high profile death penalty case of Kenneth Richey

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio has yet again ordered that Kenny Richey be released or re-tried in 90 days. Two years ago, in 2005 a similar order led the state of Ohio to refer the decision to the Supreme Court of the United States of America, who ordered the Sixth Circuit to reconsider their decision. The original decision was ratified, resulting in the Attorney General of Ohio's office and the Prosecutor of Putnam County to issuing a statement confirming their joint intention of retrying Mr,Richey.

Prosecutors in Ohio have confirmed that death row scot Kenny Richey will have a retrial. Edinburgh born Richey has been facing execution since being convicted of the murder of a toddler more than twenty years ago. But last month an appeal court overturned his death sentence.

THERE were celebrations this week when Kenny Richey, the Edinburgh man who has spent 20 years on Death Row in Ohio for a crime he insists he did not commit, finally had his sentence overturned by a court of appeal.

His case will now go to a retrial, something he has called for all along as a chance to clear his name. He's not out of the woods yet, but with compelling evidence in support and an able team of lawyers behind him, things are finally moving in his direction.
