Kenny Richey, the Scot who spent 2 decades on death row for a crime he insists he did not commit, was freed from prison today after entering a plea deal ensuring all further charges against him will be dropped.
The proceedings went off without a repeat of the health scare that postponed his release, originally set for last month in time to send him home for Christmas.
That hearing was put off at the last minute when he was rushed to hospital with a heart scare.
Richey, 43, was escorted last night from the Putnam County jail in north-west Ohio to the local court where he entered a plea of no contest on charges of attempted involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment and breaking and entering. His lawyers says he does not believe he committed any of those offences but preferred to plead no contest now rather than wait several more months to face a full trial. The plea, which is not an admission of guilt, resulted in him being sentenced to 21 years – time already served.
