James Washington. This black stabbed the Navy veteran multiple times before slitting his throat for the few extra bucks that he saw in his wallet.

James Washington will spend 65 years in prison for killing a Navy veteran from Jeffersonville. Washington was formally sentenced Monday afternoon in Clark County. He stabbed Robert Eader multiple times and slit his throat at his Spring Street apartment last year. Police said Washington went to collect cash from Eader for an earlier drug deal and when Eader pulled out extra money, Washington killed him for it.

The much loved Robert Eader. His brother-in-law described him as someone who was trusting to everyone, always saw the good in people and would happily give anything he had to anyone. RIP Bobby.

It was an emotional day for the victim’s family. “We have some closure, but there’s still one more person involved in this and she’ll go to trail in March.  When she gets what she deserves, maybe we can move on,” said Nancy Noe, Eader’s sister. That second suspect, Dana Eisenbeck, will stand trial next year. She’s accused of driving the getaway car. Washington claimed the killing was in self-defense.
