Feb 2014

Hogan eventually confessed to police about the murder on February 3, 1988. Additionally, evidence collected from the crime and evidence gathered from Hogan’s house made him a likely suspect. Hogan’s wife told police that he asked her to lie and say that he was home all day on January 28 and that he injured his hand while working in the garage.

Wilson worked at the store with Yost, 30, and later told police that he and three other men had planned the crime weeks in advance. The men dragged Yost to the back of the store, handcuffed him and bound his ankles, evidence showed.
A security camera captured Wilson smiling and helping customers at the cash register while Yost was beaten to death with a baseball bat in the back of the store.

Lifelong solitary confinement, zero human contact. That is my alternative to capital punishment. tritsofme Feb 2014 #11
