A Scotsman who was released after two decades on Ohio's death row has again been charged with threatening a former assistant prosecutor.
It's the second time 55-year-old Ken Richey has been accused of threatening a former judge who prosecuted his original case in the 1980s. In 2012, Richey was sentenced to three years in prison for making threats. He has pleaded not guilty in this case. He was on death row until 2008 after being convicted of setting a fire that killed a 2-year-old girl. He denied any involvement, and a U.S. court determined his lawyers mishandled the case. Richey was set free under a plea deal and had drawn support from Pope John Paul II.
