Francis M. Zito, sentenced to death for murdering two Eastern Shore police officers last year, died yesterday at University of Maryland Medical Center, the state prison system reported. The 43-year-old had been hospitalized for several weeks with cancer, a law enforcement source said. He had been transferred to the hospital from the Maryland Correctional Adjustment Center - the state's Supermax prison in Baltimore. Patricia L. Chappell, an attorney who represented Zito, said she was told he had been suffering from lung cancer. Zito, who was mentally ill, admitted to killing Centreville Officer Michael S. Nickerson, 24, and Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Deputy Jason C. Schwenz, 28. He received two death sentences in May. |
