Robert Shulman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Shulman (March 28, 1954 - April 13, 2006) was who was one of New York's most prolific serial killers. Shulman who was a postal worker from Hicksville, Long Island was convicted of murdering five female prostitutes between 1991 and 1996, the year when he was arrested. He was sentenced to death in 1999 for the only murder he committed after New York State passed the death penalty into law in 1995. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for his other slaying because New York's death penalty law was not in effect at the time of the killings. His sentence was reduced to life in prison after the New York State Court of Appeals invalidated the death penalty in 2004. He died of natural causes on April 13, 2006, exactly 10 years and one week since his arrest.
