Robert Power, 50, passed away at the Union Correctional Institute in Raiford.
Robert Power was sentenced to death in 1990 for his crimes. Power had kidnapped a 12 year old girl and at some point he brutally raped her.
Powers was convicted of raping a woman and 2 girls and killing a 12 year old in the 1980’s.
The media reports the reason Power has not been executed is his case was still in the appeals process and a death warrant has not been issued to but him to death.
What a joke our system has become.
Here we have a murderer and rapist that “was” serving a death sentence along with 8 consecutive life sentences for other crimes.
That’s right not 1 but 8 life sentences.
Why would we allow someone like this to continue to live?
So defense attorneys can make all the money possible from this case before he is put to death.
There is no reason to allow someone with this much prison time to live. We the tax payers have to support criminal’s everyday while we have people in our community going without food or shelter.
Even though his death was reported to be from natural causes, they are still going to send his body to the medical examiner to cost the tax payers more money to do an autopsy. Is this something that the family has requested? If so let them pay for it. We the tax payers don't need to know the reason he died.
Oh well, regardless of the reasons he died, he is dead and thats all that matters at this point.
Just a shame he wasn’t put to death by the system. We need to stop playing games with these people and put them to death in a timely manor.
