On April 12, 2011, 50 year old Eric Robert was found guilty of killing a prison guard while trying to escape. He said he would kill again, so asked to be put to death. He will be lethal injected on Monday at 10:00 p.m. This is South Dakota's first execution in 5 years and only the second in more than 50 years. Robert was issued 80 years in prison for kidnapping when he and a fellow mate tried to escape. They beat the prison guard with a pipe, the Robert put on the guards' clothes and the other one hid in a box. They tried leaving the gate but guards became suspicious and caught them.

Eric Robert asked to be put to death? It's interesting to think that he would rather die than spend time in prison.
ReplyDeletethey should give him a taste of his own medicine and beat him to death with a pipe
