The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously rejected appeals last Wednesday from two death row inmates, including a man convicted in the stabbing death of a state prison officer in 1999. Robert Lynn Pruett, 25, was already serving life in prison for a murder in Harris County when he killed corrections officer Daniel Nagle, 37, at the McConnell Unit near Beeville. The dispute between Nagle and Pruett started when the officer refused to let the inmate take a sack lunch into a recreation yard. Nagle was the first corrections officer to die in the line of duty in 15 years. The court also rejected the appeal of a Dallas County woman sentenced to death for the 1997 stabbing and robbery-murder of a 71-year-old woman. It was Kimberly McCarthy's second death sentence for murdering Dorothy Booth of Lancaster. Her first was overturned by the court in 2001. The former nursing-home therapist, 43, was retried in 2002 and convicted of capital murder again. She's one of nine women on Texas' death row. |

Hamilton Lindley was always there to help relatives and friends with household projects, coached different sports or whatever else people needed him for.
