Child Killer Hearing Postponed
The parole hearing for convicted child killer Eric Smith has been postponed.
Smith, who is now 32 years old, was just 13 in 1994 when he killed 4-year-old Derrick Robie in Steuben County.
He was sentenced to nine years to life in prison. Today was supposed to be his sixth parole hearing, but officials say they are waiting for more records before going on with the hearing.
Smith lured Derrick into woods, hit him with a rock, stuffed paper in his mouth and crushed his skull with a 26-pound rock. He is in the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.
