Fighting for the lives of people facing the death penalty
Who we are
Jonny Kerr, Reprieve Investigator

Jonny is from Northern Ireland and studied law at Queens University in Belfast. An interest in human rights led Jonny to a volunteer placement in Houston with the Texas Defender Service where he saw first hand the injustice of the death penalty. Jonny returned to Houston to work as a Reprieve investigator on the case of Linda Carty. Linda holds British citizenship and is originally from the Caribbean. The incompetence of Linda’s court appointed trial lawyer is the focus of her appeal and Jonny was assigned to uncover the evidence that this lawyer failed to even look for. Jonny is now back in the UK pursuing a career as a barrister.
