Richard Hurles is a Caucasian on death
row in the state of Arizona. He was convicted on 10/13/1994.
Crime
According to the DOC, On November 12,
1992, two witnesses observed Hurles in the Buckeye Public library
looking at childrens' books. At about 3:00 p.m., two men tried to
enter the library, but found the front door locked. As these men were
trying to get in, another witness saw Hurles leaving from the rear
door of the library. One of the men looked in a window, and saw a
woman, who was the librarian, lying in a pool of blood. When the
police arrived, they found that the victim's blouse was bloody, her
skirt was pulled up around her waist, and she was naked from the
waist down. The victim had been stabbed 37 times, and later died from
these stab wounds. That same afternoon, Hurles went to his nephew's
house and asked his nephew to give him a ride to the Phoenix
Greyhound bus station. On the way to Phoenix, Hurles threw a bloody
teeshirt and blue jeans into the desert. Hurles was later arrested
when the bus stopped in Wickenberg. At trial, the jurors found Hurles
guilty of first-degree murder, attempted sexual assault, and
first-degree burglary.
