PLATTSBURGH, N.Y., June 26 (UPI) --Richard Matt, one of the two convicted murderers who escaped from a prison in upstate New York three weeks ago, was shot dead Friday, law enforcement officials said. Sources told CNN Matt was shot and officers were pursuing the second escaped inmate, David Sweat. told The New York Times and ABC News, quoting sources, reported that Matt died of his injuries. Earlier Friday, in a news conference, Maj. Charles Guess told reporters they believed the men were headed to Canada. "Based on what we know at this point, we have a high degree of confidence in our conclusion," he said. It's unclear exactly where the shooting of Matt took place. Police believe Matt and Sweat were moving under cover of darkness. They have found items apparently belonging to the men in the towns of Belmont and Malone, N.Y. We have drawn definitive conclusions from that," Guess said. Sources told the Plattsburgh Press-Republican that DNA from Matt was found at a cabin in Malone, which is about 10 miles south of the Canadian border. DNA from at least one of the men was found over the weekend at a cabin in Owls Head, N.Y. The two men, who used tools to escapefrom Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y., on June 6, have picked up basic survival supplies to help them on the run. Guess said the terrain in which the men are traveling is difficult and rugged. "It's as much a challenge to the inmates as it has been to the law enforcement," he said. Police say Matt and Sweat had help in their escape from two prison workers -- Joyce Mitchell and Gene Palmer. Mitchell allegedly hid tools for the men to use in frozen hamburger meat. She has pleaded not guilty to charges of promoting prison contraband, a felony, and criminal facilitation, a misdemeanor. Palmer, a guard at the prison, was also arrested on charges of first-degree promoting prison contraband, two counts of tampering with evidence and official misconduct. He is accused of giving the frozen hamburger meat to the men. He was initially suspended with pay, but his pay has now also been suspended, the Press- Republican reported.

BYE BYE, Richard Matt YOU'RE NEXT... David Sweat Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
Saved the taxpayer a bunch of money by dying.
People convicted of any kind of crime where their actions caused a human life to die, should be executed within 30 days of a jury decision. No exceptions.

I agree. People say the death penalty doesn't deter murder. Last year we had 15,000 murders and 10 executions. Now imagine if we had 15,000 murders and 15,000 executions. I think there'd be a deterrence.
Statistically, it would have to deter murder. There would be 15000 less scumbags that could commit any crime. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy

You are an idiot,striving hard to obtain fool status. Good luck finding a EMT or a surgeon in GrandIsland World. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
I agree. And you are already a cult leader! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
It's certainly tempting... however, it might be worthwhile taking him alive so he can rat-out the numbskulls who helped him escape. Shed some light on the details and that sort of thing...
I asked a friend when I saw this news - Why did they kill him? He responded, They have to. Implying, to save face.
Any EMT, Surgeon, Mother Theresa or even any police officer, convicted of murder, homicide or manslaughter should be put to death. I don't condone paying for convicted killers to be kept alive.

I asked a friend when I saw this news - Why did they kill him? He responded, They have to. Implying, to save face. They were in possession of shotguns, left in a hunting camp that they were hiding out in. As stupid as it sounds, some retards (they were correctional officers) actually left their guns in their camp. Reports I've heard suggest Richard shot first, giving his position away as LE got closer. I also heard he fired rounds at someone, that person did not realize he/she was being shot at until they noticed bullet holes in the vehicle. Reports are sketchy... they are tight lipped because they are supposedly hot on the others trail. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
I think your friend is right.
Next time you are brainwashed,don't let them hit the spin cycle more than once. Self-defense is a justified-homicide,and you want people executed for self-defense? You're a retired cop and you don't understand the difference between a justified homicide and murder? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
If you are CONVICTED of murder, homicide or manslaughter... then it obviously wasn't "self defense", Pete. You've lost your way... Jump over to the gay marriage thread and defend those rainbow turd pirates. Leave the criminal punishments up to me. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
If you are CONVICTED of murder, homicide or manslaughter... then it obvious wasn't "self defense", Pete Are you trying to claim a judicial finding of justified homicide isn't a conviction? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Self defense is a affirmative defense... and when successful, the defendant isn't "convicted of justified homicide"... he's ACQUITTED of a crime. I never advocated that when human life is taken due to self defense, that should be punished at all... and your willingness to accuse me of suggesting such, and going down this ridiculous path of debate, is a waste of my time. Grow up, Mister White was intelligent enough to understand what I was saying... you are grouchy and argumentative. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
If they kill them both, who'll tell their story for a great movie?
Unless the escapee is Snake Plisskon, no prison escape movie is great unless the escapee dies. IMHO. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The Shawshank Redemption was a near great movie IMHO.
Yes... Morgan Freeman's charachter was rehabilitated (very rare) and deserved release. Good movie. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Same guy who did this one:
You are right in-line with PolPot and Hitler besides a few other thousand fools.
No,I just understand it is the nature of a control freak like you to extend every power to the state if given the chance. Murder is a very "big" word in the sense that it means different things to different people,and often that is based on emotion. It is insane to give the state the blanket authority to execute anyone convicted of any degree of what is being called "murder". Two guys get in a bar fight and one gets knocked down and hits his head on something and dies. You want them executed for murder,just like it was a thrill killing or a contract murder. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Hollywood. Complete with weeping girlfriends and slo-motion. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
I am the very voice of moderate reason. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Yes, they need a female role. I'm not sure the tailor shop woman fits the bill.
you are grouchy and argumentative. I am the very voice of moderate reason. I'm just poking fun at you, Pete....you're okay (sometimes).
Great movie. You picked a winner, Fred.
Seen Susan Saradon or Jane Fonda lately? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Take you tissues and cry somewhere else, libtard. If they killed these two pieces of shit after conviction, we wouldn't be spending millions chasing them now or feeding them the last 10 years. You can be all sympathetic and soft on your own dime. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
2) Two guys get in a bar fight and one gets knocked down and hits his head on something and dies. You want them executed for murder,just like it was a thrill killing or a contract murder. 1) an eye for an eye 2) that would be the classic definition of manslaughter... and yes, I have no problem executing someone that recklessly engages in any act that causes death... especially, driving drunk. Sucks to be them. Toughen up, Pete. There are no incentives for not acting like a criminal bar fighting drunk asshole, in your soft, sympathetic world. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Why do you care about millions spent on prisoners when in fact, the government spent millions educating and training and providing you a paycheck to become a street crossguard at a local elementary school? Did you ever get that "STOP" paddle fixed?
:)
Robert, does your employer know about your illness?
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I didn't know you were against the death penalty.
Oh it was kind of funny wasn't it?
Unless it's a cop, right?
