Convicted killer standing tan
ruled competent
Judge: Prisoner mentally capable
of comprehending death sentence
FORT WORTH (AP) — Larry
Keith Robison’s own words
helped seal his fate yesterday dur
ing a hearing to determine
whether the convicted killer is
mentally competent to under
stand his death sentence.
State District Judge Everett
Young found psychiatric reports
indicate Robison, 42, understands
he is to be executed for a rampage
in which five people were killed
17 years ago near Fort Worth. And
Robison’s statement to the court
yesterday further convinced him.
Young said.
Robison, shackled at his wrists
and ankles, took the stand during
the brief hearing to apologize to
the victims’ friends and family “if
the recent media coverage caused
[them] any pain and suffering.”
He added that he had been
“ready to go peacefully” Aug. 17 —
his previously scheduled execution
date — before the Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals blocked the
lethal injection and agreed with Ro
bison’s attorneys that .their claims
of the inmate’s mental problems
deserved a look.
“The competency hearing wasn’t
my idea,” Robison, who had been
diagnosed as a paranoid schizo
phrenic, said. But “there are people
out there who love me as well, and
they want me to live.”
Lois Robison has led the fight
for years to have her son spared
and treated for mental illness.
NEWS IN BRIEF
U.S. Army grounds
Apache helicopters
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army
said yesterday it will inspect all 743
of its Apache attack helicopters
and temporarily ground those found
to have a type of tail rotor bearing
that is believed to have caused an
Apache crash early this year.
The bearings will be replaced
and the Apaches will be returned
to duty, Army spokesperson Jim
Stueve said.
No Apaches will fly until the in
spections are completed this week,
Stueve said.
The Apache, made by Boeing, is
the Army’s best attack helicopter
and is deployed both in the United
States and abroad.
The decision to inspect the fleet
was made when the Army deter
mined the bearing was the cause of
a crash last January at Fort Rucker,
Ala., in which the helicopter was de
stroyed and the two-man crew suf
fered minor injuries, Stueve said.
