Brit gran begs UK Govt: Save me from death row

A BRITISH gran on death row in Texas has made a tearful plea for the UK Government to save her.

Linda Carty, 53, is days from becoming the first British woman executed in 50 years.

She could receive a date for her lethal injection at any moment after losing her final appeal.

Carty — who has already spent 11 years in a US jail — said from Death Row: “I wouldn’t ask the British Government to lobby for me if I knew that I was guilty, because it would be an embarrassment to myself and my family, but also to the country that I love. When I say that I am innocent and that I didn’t commit this crime, I mean that.”

The mum of one was convicted in 2002 of masterminding the brutal murder of a woman in Houston.        More Read
