2 Life Terms in Missouri Insurance Agent’s Death
A St. Louis, Mo., man was sentenced to two life terms for his part in the robbery and murder of St. Charles insurance agent in 2007.
Before being sentenced Monday, 33-year-old Cleo S. Hines testified that he was forced to drive his roommate to the office of 48-year-old Robert Eidman. The insurance agent was shot three times.
Hines entered an Alford plea to murder and robbery charges. He says his roommate at the time, Paul White, held him at gunpoint to drive and he waited in the car while White was inside Eidman’s office. He says he didn’t know Eidman was killed until seeing it on the news days later.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that White has already been sentenced to two life terms.
