BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Louisiana Supreme Court has denied a request from a death row inmate to avoid execution.

According to Attorney General Liz Murrill, the inmate, Darrell Robinson, and his lawyers applied for a rehearing on Thursday, September 4. Court documents reveal that the application for the rehearing was denied.

The louisiana supreme court denied death row inmate darrell robinson’s request for a rehearing on thursday, september 4.

Murrill issued a statement on the denial, saying:

“Darrell Robinson brutally murdered four people including a 10-month-old baby in Rapides Parish 29 years ago. It is long past time for him to have been executed. I intend to see that this happens as expeditiously as possible.”

The AG’s office says on May 28, 1996, Robinson murdered Bill Lambert, Carol Hooper, Maureen Kelly, and Nicholas Kelly, a 10-month-old baby in Rapides Parish.

Robinson, who had been living with Lambert in exchange for doing chores, was reportedly drinking heavily in the days leading up to the murders.

On the morning of the murders, witnesses saw Robinson acting erratically and buying alcohol.

Later that day, Lambert’s relative arrived at the home for a planned lunch and found the victims’ bodies in the living room.

All four victims had been shot in the head at close range.

Robinson was charged with four counts of first-degree murder.
