A 60-year-old child murderer on death row at San Quentin State Prison has died of an apparent heart attack after being incarcerated for almost 17 years, a lieutenant said today.
Robert Jackson Thompson was taken to Marin General Hospital around 8 a.m. Saturday, Lt. Eric Messick said. He had earlier complained of chest pains, and was pronounced dead by an attending physician at the hospital, the lieutenant said.
An Orange County jury convicted Thompson of sodomizing and strangling to death 12-year-old Benjamin Brenneman in a 1981 case in Anaheim. He has been at San Quentin since December 1983.

That kind of death is too good. They should resuscitate him so we can kill him.

The ultimate justice for this perv...but why did he have to live 17 years longer than his victim?

Maybe we should just provide a high-fat diet to these death-row inmates while they appeal.

The crime occured in 1981, 25 years ago. He has been at San Quentin since 1983, 23 years.
That reporter got his ejikation here in Kallyfornia.

Now he will face his eternal judgement. There is no adequate punishment on this earth for those who would harm an innocent child.

tsk tsk,, He died before his time,, which unfortunately, could and should have been long ago.. 17 years behind bars while going thru the legal&appeals process, he could have lasted quite a few more years here in California..

There is something fundamentally amiss when many (most?) violent felons, convicted and sentenced to be executed, die of natural causes before the sentence is carried out.

I think they should be provided with a stool, a rope, a stout hook hanging from the ceiling, and some Barry Manilow song played on an endless loop.
