Dr. Richard Sharpe, the cross-dressing doctor convicted of murdering his estranged wife Karen in November 2001 was founded hanged in his prison cell at the MCI Norfolk Monday evening, state corrections officials said. You see, his conscience got the better of him. Scumbag.
Sharpe, 54, a wealthy Gloucester, Mass., dermatologist, was found guilty of gunning down his estranged wife at her Wenham, Mass., home after allegedly beating her for years. He was found hanging in his cell by another prison inmate about 7:30 p.m. Monday and was taken to Norwood Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later, corrections officials said. He was serving a life sentence for his wife’s murder.
At the time of her death, Karen Sharpe’s divorce attorney, Jacob Atwood, said she had gone to the hospital because of beatings by her husband, and that Richard Sharpe had ordered her to lie about her injuries. In one incident, Sharpe stabbed his 44-year-old wife in the head with a fork, Atwood said. When Richard Sharpe came home once with duct tape and hoses, the mother of three was so afraid she moved into a motel, the attorney said.
Sharpe was convicted of using a high-powered hunting rifle to kill Karen Sharpe with a single shot to the chest on July 14, 2001 as her brother and his girlfriend watched in horror. Two of the Sharpes’ children, ages 4 and 7, also were in the house. Richard Sharpe, 45 at the time, fled to New Hampshire where he was later arrested hiding out at a motel.
Before the murder trial, his wife’s attorney accused Sharpe of being a cross-dresser who took his wife’s birth control pills and later shot her before his habits could be made public during divorce proceedings. Source: The Boston Channel
The scumbag pleaded guilty by reason of insanity. Of course, we all know that was a lie. He was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. A year later he was accused of trying to hire a hit man while behind bars in order to kill the prosecutor who put him behind bars. To echo the words of Jamaican superstar Buju Banton, “murderer, blood is on your shoulders.”
