Judge stays execution for man convicted of 1996 Carlisle murder
In Harrisburg, a federal judge halted the scheduled Sept. 29 execution of
a man convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend in Carlisle in
1996.
Antyane Robinson, formerly of Fort Washington, Md., will have more time to
pursue an appeal under an order issued Monday by U.S. District Judge
Yvette Kane.
Robinson was sentenced to death in 1997 for killing Rashawn Bass, 23. He
also critically wounded his ex-girlfriend, Tara Hodge.
Robinson, 36, is an inmate at the state prison in Greene County.
