Robert's Execution Delayed

     SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Supreme Court has
delayed the execution of one of the men sentenced to die for the
killing of a State Penitentiary guard.
     Forty-nine-year-old Eric Robert pleaded guilty to killing guard
Ronald Johnson on April 12 during a botched escape. A judge
sentenced Robert to die by lethal injection. His execution had been
set for the week of May 13-19.
     The South Dakota Supreme Court issued a ruling Wednesday that
stays the execution so the court can fully review the case. A new
date has not been set.
     The review is part of a mandatory process. Robert has said he
will not appeal the death sentence.
     Two other inmates also have been sentenced in the case - one to
death and the other to life in prison.
