▶️Kenneth Richey was waiting for the electric chair - he had been sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit. The man was on death row for 21 years. On 13 separate occasions, Richey was told the exact date and time when he would die. In 1986, a two-year-old girl, the daughter of Kenneth’s ex-girlfriend, died in a fire in the United States.

Finally, after years, the court recognised the verdict was mistaken and released him. Learn more in our video and the film Imprisoned: The Man with a Cigarette.
