Texas Death Row Inmate William Robinson Commits Suicide

With executions on hold at the busiest "Killing State," Texas, a second inmate has allegedly committed suicide using a sheet to hang himself at a psychiatric prison cell unit Jester IV while he was unsupervised.

William Robinson, 49, who was convicted of murder, was sentenced to die after only 11 minutes of jury deliberation. The sentence came under the Texas "Law Of Parties," a law that states you can receive the death penalty for being present at a crime, according to the Associated Press.

Robinson had a history of suicidal tendencies, and was a paranoid schizophrenic and mentally retarded. He was found hanging by officers around 5 AM. He was then put on life support, but apparently Robinson's mother decided the best thing would be to stop the life support when doctors reported he was brain dead according to Associated Press.

Associated Press reported his federal and state appeals were pending at this time.
