“That’s like hitting the jackpot in the casino seven times.”
A rapist was beaten to death in a Washington prison after officials moved his victim’s brother into his cell.
Shane Goldsby, 26, had 24 years added onto his existing sentence on Tuesday for the second-degree murder of his cellmate, 70-year-old Robert Munger.
Although Goldsby pleaded guilty, he claims the situation was purposely set up by guards at Airway Heights Correctional Center; a Washington State Patrol investigation found that staff had no idea about the connection between the two.
According to court documents obtained by KHQ, the convicted rapist “died after Goldbsy hit Munger in the face and head area about 14 times, (stomped) on his head at least four times and (kicked) a couple more times before walking away and being taken into custody by Airway Heights Corrections Guards.”
Munger had been serving a 43-year sentence for convictions of child rape, child molestation and possession of child pornography.
According to Goldsby and his mother, one of those victims was his little sister, who is still a minor.
“I was in shock,” he told the outlet in an interview before Tuesday’s sentencing. “I was like, ‘what the f—?’… This stuff doesn’t happen. You’re talking the same institution, the same unit, the same pod in the same cell as this dude. That’s like hitting the jackpot in the casino seven times.”
Goldsby has been in and out of prison since the age of 22 for a number of violent incidents, including one were he stole a police car, and ended up injuring an officer in a crash following a high speed chase. He admitted being in more than 20 altercations with various correctional officers, which led to him being moved around a number of prisons…. until “out of the blue” in June 2020, he was transferred to Airway Heights Correctional Center — and into the same cell as Munger.
“You put me in the same cell as this dude,” Goldsby said. “I feel set up. I’m the victim.”
