Had a really long clemency hearing on Tuesday, which was denied. His partner in crime Edward Vollmer who pleaded guilty received a sentence of life, but has a chance of parole. Vollmer was basically the instigator. Doesn't seem fair.
Hittson was sentenced to death in Houston County in March 1993 for killing 20-year-old Conway U. Herbeck, a fellow sailor. On April 3, 1993, Mr. Hittson, Edward Vollmer and the victim left Pensacola, Florida, where they were stationed, and drove to Mr. Vollmer's parents' home in Warner Robins. Mr. Vollmer wanted to kill Mr. Herbeck and gave Mr. Hittson a baseball bat to use on April 5, 1992. Mr. Hittson hit the victim in the head several times with the bat and then shot him. They cut up Mr. Herbeck's body, buried the torso in Houston County and the rest in Pensacola. Mr. Vollmer was sentenced to life in prison. Mr. Hittson had never been convicted of a felony before the killing.
