John Spirko has sat on Ohio's death row for more than 20 years while attorneys appeal his conviction for the 1982 killing of Elgin Postmistress Betty Jane Mottinger in Van Wert County.

Spirko has the 11th most seniority among death row inmates, shy of the top by 14 months even though the date of his crime, Aug. 9, 1982, is the third oldest among inmates on death row.

Like many others on death row, Spirko, who is 58, is running out of time.

Thank you to all the people who have sent him books and magazine subscriptions.  He is overwhelmed at what you guys have done.

Obviously, books and soon CDs are a great tonic for him.

Though Please DO NOT send CDS just yet. He is only going to be permitted about ten of them in total. So will find out the information soon on that,

Thank you also to the people who sent some money.It is truly appreciated. Kenny says thank you so much and sends his love and best wishes to you all.

Kenny Needs

Thursday, 09 September 2004

Kennys campaign NEEDS funds to keep it alive and fighting. Before you click off.....READ more please.

I know every now and then I put out a plea for funds and every now and then I get a few dollars or pounds. Fact is this is an international campaign which costs a LOT of money to run and funds are running VERY low. We are DESPERATE here. Very desperate indeed. Fact is if EVERY single person who supported Kenny helped out with one pound or one dollar then he would be fine

For the FIRST time ever I am appealing for funds for phone calls, books for Kenny and some funds for Kenny all at once.
