10 Reasons Why Men Should Quit Watching Po*n

Killer who was 13 when he beat boy, 4, to death with a rock quietly released from

When a 4-year-old boy named Derrick Robie was found brutally murdered in Savona, New York in August 1993, residents were stunned. They assumed that a stranger driving through Savona must have killed young Derrick, as he was beloved in the town. Some locals had even called him the "unofficial mayor" because he loved to sit on his bike and wave at passersby. A manhunt quickly ensued, and authorities were shocked when they uncovered the true perpetrator: a 13-year-old boy named Eric Smith.⁠



Marlene Heskell, a friend of Eric's family, had grown suspicious that the young teen had witnessed the murder when he started asking her about DNA testing and what would happen if Derrick's killer had been another child. Heskell went to Eric's mother with her concerns, and the two women took him to the police station to speak with investigators. They assumed that Eric had been threatened to keep quiet by whoever had murdered Derrick — but they never imagined that the teen would say, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry. I killed that little boy."⁠
Visit the link in our profile to learn more about Eric Smith, the "Freckle-Faced Killer" whose brutal crime shocked the nation.⁠

After spending 27 years in prison for the savage and unprovoked murder of a toddler in upstate New York, a convicted killer was quietly released from prison following his 11th parole hearing.

In August 1993, Eric Smith was a bullied red-haired, freckle-faced 13-year-old when he lured four-year-old Derrick Robie into the woods in Savona, New York, where he strangled and bludgeoned him with rocks, and then sexually abused the body with a stick. 

During his 11th parole board hearing last October, Smith, now 41, appeared before the Board of Parole and was finally granted release, after successfully arguing that he was a changed man who no longer posed a risk to society. 

Smith also revealed that he was engaged to a woman who had written to him in prison, asking questions about the juvenile justice system because she was studying law. The two got to know each other and fell in love. 

In the passed, Smith has expressed hope that he would be released and be free to pursue the 'American Dream.' 'I want to, you know, get married and raise a family, 'you know, hold down...a job,' he said more than a decade ago.

Derricks' parents opposed Smith's release each time he came before the parole board, which was every two years after he turned 21. 

Although Smith was eligible to be freed as early as last November, his release was delayed until February because it took months to find housing.

Smith now lives in Queens, New York. His case is the subject of the latest installment of CBS' 48 Hours, which is scheduled to air Saturday night.  

Doreen Robie, Derrick's mother, told the true-crime program that now that her son's killer is free, she is concerned for the safety of her loved ones. But she does not spend her days thinking about him. 

'I don't let him take space in my head,' she said. 'I do not focus on where he is, what he's doing. … 'cause I don't care. As long as he's not near friends and family.' 
She recalled that on August 2, 1993, she let her son, Derrick, walk alone for the first time to summer camp just a block away from their home in the Steuben County village of Savona.

'He gave me a kiss and I said, "I love you,"' Doreen recounted for 48 Hours. 'He says, "I love you, Mom." And he went hopping off the sidewalk.'

Blonde and cherub-faced, Derrick played T-ball and was popular in the community, known as 'the unofficial mayor of Savona.'

By contrast, Smith, nearly a decade older that Derrick, had been relentlessly bullied by other children, leaving him feeling angry.

When Smith spotted Derrick walking alone, he offered to show the boy a shortcut to camp. Instead, he lured the four-year-old into some woods, and killed him by strangling him and beating the child with rocks. 

The parents reported Derrick missing a short time later. Within hours, police found the boy's body. 

As cops hunted for the killer, a friend of Eric Smith's family, Marlene Heskell, told 48 Hours that she noticed the 13-year-old acting strangely. At one point, Heskell recalled that Smith asked her what would happen if the person responsible for the murder turned out to be a child. 

'I said, "I think they seriously need some psychiatric help." And he [said], "Oh, OK," you know. And he walked away,' she said.

Heskell then called Smith's mother, and together they took him to the police. Investigator John Hibsch said the teen seemed to enjoy talking about Derrick's murder, but initially he denied having anything to do with it

As the interview continued, Smith made a confession in the presence of his mother.

"'I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry. I killed that little boy,"' his grandfather, who was there, recalled Smith saying. 

In August 1994, Smith was tried as an adult, famously appearing in court in a Bugs Bunny sweatshirt. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to up to life in prison with the possibility of parole. 

Almost nine years after Derrick's murder, Smith appeared before the parole board for the first time, but his request for a release was denied. 

Ten more hearings would follow. Each time, Doreen and Dale Robie begged the members of the panel to keep his killer behind bars. 

During his 2004 parole hearing, Smith, who claimed to have been a victim of bullying, admitted that he felt good strangling Derrick 'because -- instead of me being hurt, I was hurting somebody else.' 

He also said that had he not been arrested in 1993, he probably would have gone on to kill again.

In an interview with WENY-TV in 2009, Smith said of the murder: 'My anger wasn't directed at Derrick at all. It was directed at … all the other guys that used to pick on me. And when I was torturing and killing Derrick … that was what I saw in my head.'

Smith apologized to the Robies and said that if he could switch places with Derrick 'and take the grave for him to live, I'd do it in a second…'

The convicted murderer said that after years of therapy, he was a changed man, not the 'murderer' and 'Satan incarnate' that he has been made out to be. 

'I'm not a threat,' Smith told the board. 'The 13-year-old kid that took [Derrick's] life… is not the man sitting in front of you talking … if you were to give me the chance, I would not only prove that I'm not a threat. I would definitely be an asset to society.'

Florida's Messiest Execution

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court official website in an attempt to argu...

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945 After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. French units lost out to US soldiers in the last meters of the race to reach Adolf Hitler's destroyed Alpine headquarters, the Berghof. But French troops in southern Germany in early May 1945 nonetheless made good progress, capturing one town after the other. After four years of Nazi occupation, France, under General Charles de Gaulle, joined the ultimately victorious Allied powers in 1944. And the country made sure the defeated German natio...

Meet Tenzing Norgay, The ‘Unsung Hero’ Of The First Successful Summit Of Mount Everest

Meet Tenzing Norgay, The ‘Unsung Hero’ Of The First Successful Summit Of Mount Everest Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Mount Everest, but he couldn't have done it without Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Born in the Himalayas, Tenzing Norgay grew up revering the "mighty mountain" of Everest and the "goddess of the summit." Though his father gave him a name that means "wealthy fortunate follower of religion" in hopes that he would become a monk, Norgay dreamt of being a mountaineer. He ran away from home multiple times to hike among the peaks, and eventually joined his first official mountaineering expedition at age 20 in 1935. By the time he was 40 years old, he had spent more time on the face of Mount Everest than any other person alive. ⁠ ⁠ So, when a British expedition was looking for local guides in an attempt to reach the summit, they turned to Norgay. And on May 29, 1953, Norgay and New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary became the first peopl...

Annie Lee Cooper, The Black Activist John Lewis Revered As ‘Absolutely Fearless’

Annie Lee Cooper, The Black Activist John Lewis Revered As ‘Absolutely Fearless’ From marching with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma to socking a racist cop for trying to keep her from the polls, Annie Lee Cooper fought for the rights of Black Americans with ferocity. In January 1965, an Alabama woman named Annie Lee Cooper lined up at her county courthouse to vote. This was not her first attempt, as she had been turned away from the polls just two years earlier. And after failing the impossible literacy tests made to keep Black people from the ballot box, Cooper decided that this time would be different. ⁠ ⁠ When a notoriously racist cop named Jim Clark began to demand that she abandon her spot in line, Cooper did her best to ignore him. But when he poked her in the neck with his billy club, Cooper took action — and punched him square in the face. The stunt nearly cost her her life and she was almost charged with attempted murder, but today her scuffle is remembered as courageous. As n...

The Twisted Saga Of Michael Peterson, Kathleen Peterson, And The Real Story Behind ‘The Staircase’

The Twisted Saga Of Michael Peterson, Kathleen Peterson, And The Real Story Behind ‘The Staircase’ In 2003, Michael Peterson was convicted of killing his wife Kathleen by beating her with a fire poker and throwing her down their back staircase — despite the police never finding the murder weapon nor any evidence of a concrete motive. But investigators soon learned that the Petersons were deep in debt and that Michael was unhappy with the way his work as a writer had stalled while his wife's career as a business executive had soared. And when prosecutors learned that Michael had exchanged emails with a male sex worker, they argued that Kathleen must have discovered the messages and confronted him about it, causing him to fly into a fit of rage, beat her about the back of the head, and leave her to die at the bottom of the stairs. But six years after Michael's conviction, a shocking new analysis showed that Kathleen Peterson had traces of feathers, wood, and cedar needle...
