SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A 66-year-old inmate has died while awaiting execution at San Quentin State Prison for a 1988 murder in Sacramento County.
The state corrections department said Ralph Michael Yeoman was found unresponsive in his cell early Tuesday. The cause of death is awaiting an autopsy.
He was sentenced to death in 1990 for the Feb. 13, 1988, first-degree murder, kidnap and robbery of 73-year-old Doris Horrell of Citrus Heights. Her body was found in a field west of Interstate 5 near what is now Sleep Train Arena.

Taxpayers relieved. The inmate is now visiting Satan.
Okay. I’ll bet that wasn’t all that enjoyable. Hope you’re retired now.
I am sir, and enjoying it. 25 years was enough for me.
I would be way more than enough for me. Thanks.
Good riddance to this animal. There is not much to admire about the so-called Chinese judicial system but I give them credit for executing perps post haste. This guy enjoyed far too many sunrises that his victims did not ever see.
My girlfriend’s late husband was a juror on this case and no doubt is pissed, rotating rapidly in his grave that he had to agonize (well, actually, he didn’t. . . Said he deserved to be taken out and drowned!) over giving this piece of human excrement the death penalty only to have him die of natural causes 24 years later. . . after my girlfriend’s late husband lost sleep, had to look at photos of the victims body (shot five times), look at this guy’s empty eyes, and then LOST his job because he was on this jury!
24 years and the condemned man out lived the juror!
This guy was a real piece of work. . . He had cut a 92 year old woman’s throat from ear to ear in a previous crime. . . But they let him out of prison from THAT conviction. That’s why he was walking the street so he could kill this woman.
Would you believe the Public Defender’s office sent an attorney to quiz the jurors about what they could do better in preparing the appeal of his conviction???? My girlfriend sent them scurrying away like rats. Probably saved them from a severe beating from her husband. He would have taken a baseball bat to them. . .
He was sentenced to death in 1990
I just love how swift justice is actually given in the liberal courts here in America.
Just think: 150 years ago they would have tried him and hung him the next day.
Watch some lawyer file suit claiming that dying of a heart attack alone in his cell was cruel and unusual punishment.
Per the article:
Fourteen California inmates have been executed since capital punishment was reinstated in 1978, while 63 have died from natural causes and 23 by suicide.
In other words, 86% of California death row inmates die of something other than execution, and California has carried out an execution only once every 2.7 years since 1978.
During the period that California executed fourteen inmates, over 95,738 murders were committed in California.
