Robert Pruett was just 15 years old when he was sentenced to 99 years for a murder he didn’t commit. He was locked away for his role in a fight that led to his dad fatally stabbing their neighbor. Then, a corrections officer was found murdered next to a torn-up disciplinary note he had written for Pruett, but Pruett maintained that he didn’t kill the officer. Even so, he was put to death in October 2017.

I like Robert Pruett, but remember he knows he's on international tv, so he's trying his hardest to be on his very best behaviour, hair slicked back, smiling sweetly
I new that voice,chris Hanson, have a seat.
And he cussed and yelled as he died after he made his last statement
next
The murder weapon was re-tested and none of pruetts DNA came bk but to clear him someone elses DNA had to be on it and their was none.
He was most likely guilty. But now we will never know
Why does this story suggest he's innocent?!?? I worked in TDCJ…5 inmates testified against him. In prison, inmates do not cooperate in investigations at all…so the fact that 5 inmates went to court and testified that they saw him…is a guilty verdict!!! 5 inmates!!!! Inmate dont get involved at all for nothing but it must be true if all their stories matched up. This "show" failed to mention blood evidence that was found on his clothes and cuts on his hands…
I’m sure they put Pruett to death with no evidence at all. Lol. More anti death penalty propaganda.
Unfortunately he was poor and so there is nobody who will bring the real killers to justice,for Texas he is just another garbage to be put out,but someone should do something so this never happens. Killing innocent men.
He was innocent and the state of Texas refused to accept that they were wrong.Rip Robert Pruett
There is absolutely no evidence that shows he did it. At the time, other inmates said he wasn't even there. On the other hand, Texas was about to be exposed by this CO as he played by the book which is why they didn't even like him. He had a lot to say about the corruption going on. So he was silenced by those who were about to exposed.
Do you honestly think Robert would have ripped his write up and left it with the body? And made to believe the other 5 or 6 convicts that said he wasn't there all of a sudden remembered and testified they did see him there. Turns out they had amnesia but woke up when they saw the good chunk of prison time they were to do is gone….just like that…magic.
So now 2 people were murdered to keep the silence and a warning to those who loud snitches.
There wasnt his DNA and there was Nothing proof and stilo he executed D:
Got 99 years without committing crime and then put to death for not committing crime again?? I guess God kept all the good things for him after life…
Texas justice system is a joke 99 years because he’s dad killed sum1 then death penalty with no evidence that’s just plane crazy fuck the Texas justice system… R.I.P Robert
Texas….a mass murderer
he poor of course he die!
This is why I can support the death penalty. One mistake is too many.
Teresa Sinnetta è brava
Didn't a jury convict him? How could there have been no evidence?
He had no blood on his clothes even though the guard was stabbed and there was blood everywhere work that one out
to give a 15 year old 99 years is ridiculous
as far as i concern EIGHT know innocents were executed and yet SOMEHOW death captial still exist… and about robert lynn pruett even after the DNA result and NO evidence against him he STILL got executed fantastic like the salem witch trials and of cource marcellus williams is a similliar case except that guy somehow survived and his case ongoing and what about robert case? still no news?
seriously after no proof of murder found he STILL get executed wow just wow…. it's like salem witch trials all over again
Heartbreaking 💔
When I found out they put him to death I was sad and sickened first of all he wasn't even near the officers area he was checked in over a 100 yards away there was no DNA at all which tells me gloves where worn and because there was no DNA he dies TEXAS FIX YOUR JUSTICE SYSTEM YOU KNOW YOU KILLED A INNOCENT MAN LOOK AT YOUR OFFICERS!!!
We don’t fuck around in Texas. If you kill we kill you back!
Wow… What a complete waste of a life..
They put to death an innocent man, smh…There was NO proof at all and yet, he's gon' at the flip of that switch.
Executing as if it were the same as overgoing an operation….but it is not…..what a flawed system
DEATH PENALTY A USUAL MATTER IN USA……WHAT A SHAME……
He gets 99 years for following his dad who then shoots a guy! Wtf he was 15 & had no idea his dad was going to shoot a guy & then with zero evidence & with Officer Nagle busted his own officers for bringing in drugs, Nagle was due to testify against his own & bingo as pruett wasn’t covered in blood & the knife did not have his DNA on it he gets a guilty verdict!! The USA has the worst corrupt justice system & locks up pet population more people than any other civilised country!
How can you call it a corrections Centre when the end goal is Death?
Its okay if truth dont win here. In hereafter TRUTH prevails & God does justice
The System is definitely based on picking and choosing, They decide HOW they want to punish someone based on HOW they want to punish them, NOT based on the evidence or either the jury, fucked up system. I've known pple to serve as little as 4 yrs for being accused of murdering someone, with ALL the evidence in the world pointing to them, but then you have this man was responsible for someone's murder, yet there was no evidence pointing to him, AND he not Only goes to jail, but he gets executed, SMH…..the WORLD we live in has NOT Only gotten more cruel, but just SCARY!!!!!
Jesus he is like a child still, that 15yr old boy not meant to be free 😕
I hate the d p .
