He [Richard Matt] killed a 76-year-old businessman by breaking his neck, then cut up the body and threw the pieces into a river.
(snip)
The victim was a food broker named William Rickerson who had hired and then fired Matt.

On Dec. 4, 1997, according to the trial testimony of an accomplice, Matt beat Rickerson with a knife sharpener, bound him with duct tape, tossed him in the trunk of a car, and then drove around for 27 hours looking for a place to kill and bury him.
At one stop on the drive, Matt opened the trunk, broke four of Rickerson's fingers, hit him in the chest with a steering wheel locking device, then shut the trunk and kept driving.
The accomplice testified that Matt had him turn down a cul-de-sac, stop the car and open the trunk again. He said Matt told him: "You know, I've had enough of this."
He said Matt reached in and twisted Rickerson's head. "I heard a pop," the accomplice testified, and the businessman "just dropped back in the trunk." Matt cut off the arms and legs with a hacksaw, authorities said.
A fisherman discovered the torso in the Niagara River.

LOL. I thought they were in prison for helping little old ladies across the street.
Did you already know all of these details? If so, others might not have. I didn’t. Anyway, it serves as a reminder of how depraved this SOB was.
Prisons are filled with lowlife monsters. Most of them should be put to death by the State. Conservatives should work at expanding the death penalty...
G. Gordon Liddy wrote that for every person in prison there was another one working as a guard that was in prison also.
Richard Matt is dead! Shot in a shootout with a BP Agent a couple of hours ago.
Thanks, but I know that. I was just passing on some details about what he had done. I hadn’t heard them before.
I didn’t see anything about his demise in this thread.
“Anyway, it serves as a reminder of how depraved this SOB was.”
I guess it all depends on the meaning of the word "was". :)
a speedy execution would have spared all the taxpayer expense and drama.......
“a speedy execution would have spared all the taxpayer expense and drama.......”
Yes, and now we are going to be treated to “musical chairs” with the Clinton Prison “management,” as they scurry around like a bunch of cats covering $hit pointing fingers at each other trying to save their worthless jobs! Half the prison’s current population will be dead of natural causes before the first “prison employee” is sent down the road. Count on it!
One down, and one to go!

Hey, the guy was trying to turn his life around. He was learning the butcher trade in prison. He was trying to be a cut above the rest. In fact, he wanted his voting rights restored, restitution from the state for time spent in jail because he was denied his First Amendment right of freedom of movement, and he wanted to take care of his mother and her cat.
He was just a guy who got caught up in a moment of insanity. He promised he would never do it again.
Well, at least the last line is correct.
As I have written before, “An Executed Murderer Never Kills Again”.
Next step, kill Sweat. We need a two-fer (Hell) to offset ISIS/Al Qaeda’s murderous rampages in France, Tunisia and Kuwait, which Obie just calls a “JV game”.
Incredible brutality. It was like that Billy Batts in the trunk scene from Goodfellas.
In ten years prisons will be run by machines...
