Deputy Will Robinson was murdered as he walked up to the Black thief’s car.

A man convicted of murdering a Baldwin County Sheriff’s deputy nearly 20 years ago is scheduled to be executed on Dec. 9.

According to a news release from Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens, Robert Wayne Holsey is scheduled to be executed at 7 p.m. on Dec. 9.

Hosley was convicted of murdering Deputy Will Robinson Dec. 17, 1995.

Holsey was charged and convicted of malice murder, felony murder and armed robbery, after he robbed a Milledgeville convenience store with a gun, and later shot and killed Robinson. The deputy had stopped Holsey’s car, because it matched the description provided by the store clerk.
