The episode was just on again today, and after it I checked up on Antonio Richardson, as I had doubts as to whether he was actually guilty. Anyway I found this site:

http://www.freewebs.com/justiceforantonio/index.htm

At the end of the episode, Ricki tells that a date was set for Antonio's execution.... Amazingly, just 1hr 48 mins before his scheduled execution the Supreme Court stepped in, and after the case was looked at again in 2003, Antonio was taken off Death Row, and the sentence was changed to life imprisonment.

Antonio is still fighting his case to one day be released from prison!

Ive also found a website that tells of the other inmate featured on the show, Christopher Simmons, he also had a date set for execution, only to be saved and have his sentenced reduced to life imprisonment.

So both guys on the show are still alive, but still locked in prison for the rest of their lives, although both are fighting their convictions.

Hey there monkey muffin

how shall I put this - I am trying to find an episode of ricki lake.. and I have no way of tracking it down b/c itv is in the UK and I am in the US.

strange as this sounds, I wonder if it is possible to check itv's website and find out what episodes are coming up. If that is a possibility, i wonder if you, or someone you know, would have the patience to track down the episode(i know the name and number), record it, and send it to the US. i'd pay like.. $100 USD? (I know that's piss poor compared to the pound, but I'm just looking for a little nostalgia)

anyway, if this sounds remotely interesting, please let me know
