Death-row grandmother Linda Carty in last-ditch plea

A BRITISH grandmother on death row has lodged a last-ditch appeal with the US Supreme Court in a bid to save her life.

Linda Carty was convicted in 2002 over the abduction and murder of a 25-year-old woman after a trial which campaigners say was "catastrophically flawed".

A video plea on behalf of the 51-year-old will be submitted to the Supreme Court alongside the appeal from her legal team and a document from the British government outlining its concerns over her sentence.
