Scot Free-d

Just a quick note on Kenny Richey, who arrived back in Scotland an hour ago after spending 20 years on death row in America and was once less than an hour from being executed. His conviction was over-turned in August and he was sentenced to time already served in a US prison. Good luck to the guy, who has now been given a second chance.

No one - no matter what crime they have committed - deserves to go through what Kenny Richey has. I don't want to turn this blog into a sermon on the death penalty, but that is one part of American political life that I cannot get on side with.

Now New Hampshire is out the way, I may blog a little closer to home for a few days...
