Briton freed after plea ends 21 years on death row
Kenny Richey pleaded no contest to attempted involuntary manslaughter at the Putnam County Common Pleas Court in Ottawa, Ohio, and is set to head back to Britain today, his lawyer said.
Richey, 43, from Edinburgh, was convicted in 1987 of an arson attack on an apartment block in an Ohio town in which a two-year-old girl, Cynthia Collins, died.
