Welcome to The Kenny Richey Page

I  spoke with Kenny tonight. He is doing as well as can be expected. He is of course impatient about the decision from the courts but he is still hanging in there.

Retrial Delays will kill Kenny Richey

The campaign team for Death Row Scot Kenny Richey believe the US authorities are trying to kill him by dragging out a decision on his freedom until he dies behind bars from a degenerative heart condition.

THE prison housing Death Row Scot Kenny Richey has come under fire after a second execution in a year was delayed because of problems with its medical staff.

Prison staff struggled on Thursday to insert shunts - the entry point for the needle which would administer the lethal injection - in the arms of Christopher Newton, who was scheduled to die for killing a prison cell-mate.

A WEBSITE has been set up to help Death Row Scot Kenny Richey cope with homesickness.

The website features some of the poetry Kenny, 42, has written in more than 20 years in jail in Ohio.

It was set up by Richey's ex-fiancée, Karen Torley, who said she had started it long ago but only finished it recently.

Richey, who grew up in Edinburgh, was sentenced to death in 1987 for the murder of two-year-old Cynthia Collins.

The website address is www.geocities.com/karen_richey/Kenny_sScotsPage.html
