That is a interesting read, it makes one think... I really don't know what to think. He had a horrible childhood, and then to be sentenced to 99 years at 16 under the 'the law of parties' to an adult prison seems a bit stupid. Some people say he killed Daniel Nagle just to get solitary and out of general population where he was being constantly abused. It's hard to imagine that there was no DNA or blood evidence when stabbing someone with a shank numerous times.

When the DP is involved where it is iffy, secret's involved, questionable or possibe set up, I am agains't the DP. There should always be open communication along with facts for the public on what happened behind closed doors...........
I smell a rat.

HOUSTON (AP) - A federal appeals court has refused to stop the scheduled execution next week of a man condemned for fatally stabbing a Texas corrections officer more than 15 years ago.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday rejected an appeal from 35-year-old Robert Pruett. He's set for lethal injection Tuesday evening in Huntsville for the December 1999 slaying of 37-year-old Daniel Nagle, an officer at the McConnell Unit prison near Beeville.
Pruett's attorneys argue his execution would be unconstitutionally cruel because the state improperly stored evidence, damaging it for DNA testing they say could exonerate Pruett. Recent DNA tests have been inconclusive.
Pruett already was serving a 99-year sentence for a 1995 Harris County slaying. Testimony showed he was angry about a disciplinary report from Nagle.

I first read about on him on one of those prisoner sites where he started to write his autobiography. Some English woman picked up on it and started his website That was about 10 years ago. It was really interesting. I then checked it weekly. Who knows how much of it is true? I then started to read his appeals, which do provide some information about the crime. You can find the appeals online. His autobiography and journals make a good read about death row and the appeals process. His pre death row time suggest to me that he was aggressive and impulsive and quite capable of killing someone. Reading his last (possibly final appeal) states clearly that there is no DNA evidence or physical evidence against him. That's what bothers me. I get the impression he was convicted on testimony given by other prisoners.

I get the impression he was convicted on testimony given by other prisoners. i have read in the 5th circuits appeal Nagle had written a disciplinary report for Pruett’s having food in an area of the prison where food was not permitted. Torn pieces of the disciplinary report were found near Officer Nagle’s body after the murder. At trial, Pruett testified that Officer Nagle tore up the report in his presence and that he (Pruett) then walked away, leaving Officer Nagle alive and well. Blood found on the disciplinary report was tested for DNA and found to have come from Officer Nagle. No other DNA profiles were developed at that time and there was no physical evidence connecting Pruett to the murder. if thats all the evidence against him it doesn't prove he killed him it don't look good, but don't prove he is a killer..there has to be more..

If there is any doubt stay the execution. I wouldn't feel comfortable executing a inmate on the testimony of convicted felons with no evidence to back the testimony up..

If it is 'iffy', then he should get a new trial, not executed; which is what he is after.

So the chronology is father emerges from prison when Pruett is seven. By all accounts beats him and force feeds him drugs. Father kills neighbour when Pruett is 15 causing Pruett to get 99 yrs in prison. Pruett (possibly) kills CO five years later. The only disruption to cause and effect I can see there is that it took him five years to kill someone.

The only DNA they had on the shank was that of the victim. Hope to have the weapon re-examined to see if any other DNA was on the shank or the tape wrapped around the end of it. Seems fair to me since no facts. The stay is fair as far as I can see, when talking a DP.
Sometimes jail house snitch helps lead to facts" relying on only a inmate/inmates alone is dangerous.

Ex specially if the DA is sweetening the pot, how can you take testimony on face value if inmates have been offered deals or any incentives. It's not like 20 years down the track oh you know what that inmates testimony was *bullcrap* we will have to give him another trial "oops" that right we executed him.. It's a slippery slope..
