Richard Matt And David Sweat, Convicted Murderers, Escape From New York Prison

More on Matt:

Matt’s history is seedy and sickening, with a rap sheet that includes a 1989 rape charge in Buffalo and a 1991 stabbing attack on a nurse, the Buffalo News previously reported.

And this is not the first time he masterminded an escape. He was on the lam for days after busting out of Erie County’s jail in 1986, authorities said.


Years later, Matt became a government witness in a contract killing case involving California resident David Telstar, who in 1992 was accused of visiting Matt in jail and offering the con $100,000 to murder his socialite wife.

Telstar’s attorney accused Matt of making up dirt to get out of his impending rape trial. “This is nothing more than an informant who’s trying to cut a deal for himself,” the lawyer said at the time. “He’s just a typical, run-of-the-mill jailhouse informant.”

Matt was released from prison in 1997 after serving 3½ years for attempted burglary. He landed a job at future victim William Rickerson’s food brokerage in North Tonawanda, where he would steal meat and sell it on the side.

After the ex-con was canned, he set his sights on kidnapping his one-time boss and demanding thousands in cash.

Matt and accomplice Lee E. Bates abducted the 76-year-old businessman but only made off with $80, credit cards, and a wedding ring belonging to the man’s deceased wife, authorities said.

Weeks after Rickerson disappeared, his torso and other body parts turned up in the Niagara River. Matt fled to Mexico to hide out before he could be put on trial in New York, but he was thrown into a Mexican prison for fatally stabbing an American man during a robbery. He was extradited to the U.S. nearly a decade later and convicted of Rickerson’s murder.

Matt was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. Niagara County’s sheriff rushed to dump the killer elsewhere—arranging for an immediate transfer to a state prison instead of waiting for a cell, the Buffalo News reported.

“For [at least] 25 years, he’s someone else’s problem,” Chief Deputy James Voutour fumed.

A female juror told the Buffalo newspaper, “There’s no doubt that if he got out, he’d do something…It’s sociopathic behavior. He needs to stay in there.”

Another juror said Matt’s “eyes were just blank, nothing there,” and that he looked “like a cult leader.”

First, who convicts them as murders? Thats Jury, who are these jurors? They are just average human beings, right?

Secondly, of these Jurors whom them voted on three possible verdicts, they decide Not guilty, Guilty, OR "Hung Jury", is there any possibility of favoritism, biased, "Winking eyes" happens during their deliberations?

Third, have the suspect barred from collecting evidences to prove their innocence? (Bail denied, or unable to bail out that prevents them from trying to collect evidences are one of examples)

Forth, the prosecutor or DA is human being, right? Since they are human beings, have they done their job with prejudice? Have they hide evidences that might otherwise could have prove innocent. Have they failed upheld their integrity at 100%?

Fifth, the Judge of the law is a human being, right? So, have these Judges failed uphold their integrity at 100%? Sometimes the Judge have barred any evidences that might otherwise prove innocence?

Sixth, of these law enforcement agencies, forensic scientist, etc, they are human beings, right? Have they failed their job with integrity? Have they withheld these evidences that might otherwise have proven innocence of the charged suspect?

You see, multiple people involved, it does increase the likelihood of investigation being corrupted because all of them are just human beings. How do you trust them doing their job decide whether one should be executed? If they can do their job without killing even ONE innocent, sure no problem BUT are they?

Of these 6 issues above, if they were answered yes, then why allow them "We, the people" kill innocent? What if that innocent is YOU and you knew you didn't commit crime, where is your right to defend your own innocent? Think about it!

After experience false accusations by few people against me, witness people that I know went though, I see everything differently.

So, I am sorry, I do NOT support death penalty.

Anyway DHB couldn't turn them in because he would be dead by the time he let them in his place. Seriously!
