Death Row Scot Kenny Richey is facing at least another TWO years behind bars before he learns his fate.
And if he is freed, his lawyer fears he won't get a PENNY in compensation for his 20 year fight for justice.
I came across a website we had began making for Kenny some time ago after talking to Kenny about him being homesick.
On it are some of his Scottish Poems and also one of his favourite songs, "Bonnie Portmore".
DEATH Row Scot Kenny Richey has suffered another heart scare in prison and is set to return to hospital for tests.
It is the latest in a line of health scares for the prisoner following a heart attack in August, which was his third in five years.
His ex-fiancee, Karen Torley, revealed the news after speaking to Richey from his Ohio cell.
I spoke to Kenny today and he was asking if there was any news on little Madeleine McCann. He has been following the story on the news in Ohio. Amazing that this news has reached so far isn't it?
We've put together a yellow ribbon for web pages. It links to The Sun, where the background story and the poster can be found.
We did this because while we think mail and posters will go a long way, the ribbon is a simple way for webmasters to show support and raise awareness. You can see it in action in the top-right corner of this site.
It is NOT any kind of official ribbon, but we will make it available for those that are interested anyway. The zip contains the HTML-snippet needed in a block level object which will put it in the top-right corner. Add it to the end of the code, just before </body>. In the file you will also find the file if you'd like to host it yourself, if not we're perfectly OK with you using ours.
Update: I got a question about the code, namely why we didn't just have the code handy for copy/paste. Well here it comes:
<div id="madeleine" style="position:absolute;right:0;top:0;z-index:10000">

Madeleine McCann's family believe a new picture of the missing four-year-old could play a vital role in the search for her.
The photo of the youngster shows clearly the her distinctive right eye, where the pupil runs into the blue-green iris.
