USA - Arkansas. A jury sentenced Robert Holland to death.

A Lincoln County jury sentenced Robert Holland, 45, White, to death. Holland was convicted of capital murder in the Dec. 2, 2012, death of Matthew Scheile, 22, in a cell in the east building at Cummins Prison. Holland is already serving a sentence of life without parole to death in the slaying of another inmate. According to the State Police investigation, Holland, who was convicted of capital murder in Union County in 1991, was housed in a 2-man cell at the prison and had previously refused to accept a cellmate, which resulted in disciplinary actions. Holland finally agreed to allow another person in the cell with him, and Scheile was killed about 12 hours after he was put in the cell with Holland. Hunter said Holland waited until Scheile was asleep before making a noose out of a bed sheet and strangling Scheile, and when Holland was questioned, he admitted the crime.
