Century Inmate Receives Life For Prisoner Stabbing Death
June 1, 2018
Friday morning, an inmate was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing another inmate over an alleged bad debt inside Century Correctional Institution.
Robert L. Hunt was charged with second degree murder for the June 19, 2017, incident.
Judge Jan Shackelford sentenced Hunt to life in state prison as a prison releasee reoffender. He will not be eligible for parole.
According to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrest affidavit, Hunt stabbed inmate Jorge Slaughter multiple times in the abdomen with a metal weapon inside the G Dorm. Slaughter died from his injuries a short time later at Century Correctional.
Preliminary findings from Slaughter’s autopsy indicated that the weapon used by Hunt caused Slaughter to bleed out internally.
The entire incident was captured on video by security cameras inside the dorm. Inmates who witnessed the incident identified Hunt as Slaughter’s attacker. Witnesses also told the FDLE that Hunt attacked slaughter over an unspecified debt that Slaughter owned Hunt.
Slaughter, 30, was serving a 30 year sentence out of Miami-Dade for armed burglary, grand theft and robbery. Hunt was serving a 15 year sentence out of Polk County for attempted robbery with a gun or deadly weapon. He had previously served a year and a half for aggravated assault with a weapon and methamphetamine possession.
Slaughter’s family filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against the Florida Department of Corrections the then-warden.

So now Robert would know how it feels to die in prison too. without family and friends around him to comfort him. Ah
@Bhunter, Right on man
So the state couldnt prove pre-med huh? Well that makes sense, now i get to go to work and help pay for this scum bag to sit around all day and watch tv and stuff his face with snacks. Put this dirtbag where he belongs, in a noose at the gallows. Start hangin’ these animals like they used to and i guarantee you’ll see a lot less of this crap!
No problem timewise, is what I meant to say.
well Gary, he’s got the rest of his life to turn it around, so problem timewise.
Maybe prison programs will help Mr. Hunt turn his life around.
it was over drug money. and Slaughter didn’t pay up.
Ohh.. prison life.
Carried weapon, carried out attack. Sounds like he premeditated the hell outta that murder!
Everyone: To get the death penalty he would have to be charged with 1st Degree Murder > To get charged with 1st degree murder the state would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the murder was Premeditated. We have a justice system for a reason. It is not ideal that our taxes will have to pay for him; however, this is America!
No Becky we put bad people in prison.
What happen to “an eye for an eye”?
Why do we provide for killers? Our society is a disgrace! Whether imprisoned or not. We are all imprisoned paying for housing for these menacing animals. They have more rights than we law abiding citizens. What a waste!
Oh goody, now we get to house him and feed him for another few decades!
It is so sad what prison does to people.
So how much debt are we talking about??
I guess Mr. Hunt will never get his debt repaid now…… Maybe after the settlement to the Slaughter Family, Mr. Hunt will be repaid. Lol
Move out of cc to death row…
