Durham-born Neil Revill is awaiting trial in California, where the prosecution is seeking the death penalty despite the fact that the police still have other suspects for the crime.
Neil was born in County Durham in August 1972 and spent his school years travelling between Royal Air Force bases in Germany and England where his father was stationed. By 1998, he was living in Los Angeles, California.
In October 2001 a small time drug dealer Arthur Davodian and his girlfriend, Kimberley Crayton were stabbed to death. According to the prosecution, Neil Revill was the last person to be seen with the couple and he was therefore charged with the couple's murder.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty, and Neil has been in prison awaiting trial since November 2001, despite the fact that the police still have other suspects.
Neil has always maintained his innocence of the crimes.
Reprieve, together with UK law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, is assisting Neil’s public defenders with investigation and with trial preparation.
