State of Washington v. Cronin and Roberts, King County Superior Court # 94-C-03250-6 and 94-C-03249-2.
N/AOUTCOME: Plaintiff's Verdict
These cases, severed for trial, involved charges of aggravated murder stemming from the 1994 torture and murder of Eli Cantu in his north King County home. Cronin and Roberts were escapees from a Cana ... dian prison fleeing south toward Mexico. On their way south, they went to the home of Eli Cantu, who Roberts had known several years earlier and who Roberts believed had turned him into the authorities for a previous escape from prison. Cronin and Roberts tied Mr. Cantu in a chair and tortured him before strangling him to death. They then took Mr. Cantu's car and fled south before being apprehended in Oregon after committing an armed robbery. Norm Maleng, the elected prosecutor, sought the death penalty against each defendant. After lengthy jury trials, both were convicted. Cronin's jury spared his life, but Robert's jury unanimously voted to recommend a death sentence. Both cases were reversed on appeal settling issues of accomplice liability in aggravated murder cases and the imposition of the death penalty where accomplice liability is at issue. State v. Roberts, 142 Wn2d 471 (2000) and State v. Cronin, 142 Wn2d 568 (2000). On remand, a plea to felony murder in the first degree was negotiated for Cronin and a plea to aggravated murder without the death penalty was negotiated for Roberts.
