Death row Scot wins late appeal

A Scot has won a late US appeal which could save him from a death sentence.

Federal judges in Ohio have referred Edinburgh-born Kenny Richey's case to the US state's Supreme Court to find out if his murder conviction was safe.

Richey was sentenced to death after being convicted of arson and the aggravated murder of a girl in 1986.

Liberal Democrat MP Alistair Carmichael said it was the ?first real glimmer hope? for Richey, who was one hearing away from execution.
