A notorious killer on San Quentin’s death row died after being found unconscious in his cell early Thursday, prison officials said.

The Marin County coroner will now work to determine how 55-year-old Gilbert Rubio died after correctional officers found him unresponsive during a security check just after 6 a.m.

Rubio was sentenced to die on Sept. 20, 2000 for the 1998 murder and robbery of high school vice principal George “Skipper” Blackwell in his Long Beach home.

I did google “George “Skipper” Blackwell”. That’s what I said in my post. I found NOTHING. Yes, there are a lot of pictures. But they’re NOT the victim. They are other random people and imagines. Did you actually find a picture of George Skipper Blackwell, the victim?

And now 16 years later here he is dead.

Apparently Justice got tired of waiting for the humans to do their job.

Number 538 is scheduled for Texas next Tuesday.
White guy named Roberson convicted of beating his two year old daughter to death while raping her.

Have seven more after him scheduled for the remainder of the year.

Just a drop in the bucket. Texas has hundreds more killers on death row or
imprisoned.

What, isn’t the reporter and his editor going to tell us what Rubio’s last meal was?

In CA, if you’re on death row, you’re more likely to die of natural causes than the average Joe out in the community.

I was there. I can assure you that is true.

Tried to find a picture of the man he murdered in cold blood for no reason whatsoever, George “Skipper” Blackwell. Nothing.

...

Rubio was the boyfriend of the night custodian at the school. Blackwell allowed them to do work in his home.

The Department of Corrections site says he arrived at San Quentin on July 1, 1988. If it was 1998, there is no way he would have a D number. It would probably be E or F by then.
