In the Florida State Prison near Starke, Johnny L. Robinson was executed. He was pronounced dead at 7:34 p.m. Robinson, 51, was condemned for the 1985 fatal shooting of Beverly St. George, whose car had broken down in St. Johns County. St. George, 31, was driving, when her car broke done on I-95. She was abducted at gunpoint by Robinson and Fields. She was handcuffed and taken to Pellicer Cemetery, where she was raped by both men, and shot twice in the head. Robinson, however, who was black, said the woman agreed to go with them to the cemetery and he and St. George had consensual sex on the hood of his car. He claimed that during the sexual activity, a struggle occurred and his .22-caliber pistol went off hitting her in the face. Robinson said he shot her again because he did not think people would believe that the fatal shooting of a white woman was an accident. 5 days after St. George's murder, Robinson was arrested for robbing 4 other people in a disabled car and raping one of them. Robinson was on parole for a Maryland rape at the time. Robinson becomes the 1st condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Florida, and the 10th in the USA.
