ROBERT PRUETT, 38, has steadfastly claimed that others framed him in the 2002 killing of a corrections officer who was stabbed to death at a prison near Corpus Christi. An execution date in August 2016 was stayed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeal. The new killing date was set after the appeals panel ruled that DNA testing would not have changed the outcome of his trial. He has been in prison since the age of 15, having been convicted of being an accomplice on a murder committed by his father.
