    Cleo Hines Sentenced to Life in 2007 MO Slaying of Robert Eidman



    A south St. Louis man previously charged in the 2007 slaying of an insurance agent in the City of St. Charles is now facing the more serious charge of first degree murder.

    Originally; prosecutors charged 31 year old Cleo Hines with second degree murder, in the death of 48 year old Robert Eidman who was found shot to death inside his office near I-70 and First Capital Drive in June 2007. Hines is also accused of robbery in the case.

    The Grand Jury returned an indictment accusing Hines of the more serious offense which is punishable by a life prison term with no chance of release or a potential death penalty.

    Hines waived arraigned in St. Charles County Court Monday afternoon by pleading not guilty. He remains jailed on a bond of one million dollars. He's scheduled to return to court next month for a tentative trial setting.

    A co-defendant in the case is already in state prison on an unrelated conviction. Paul Curtis White is also charged with first degree murder and robbery in Eidman's death and White is expected back in court later this month.

    ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) -- A St. Louis man was sentenced to two life terms for his part in the robbery and murder of St. Charles insurance agent in 2007.
    Before being sentenced Monday, Cleo S. Hines, 33, testified that he was forced to drive his roommate to the office of Robert Eidman, 48. The insurance agent was shot three times.
    Hines entered an Alford plea to murder and robbery charges. He says his roommate at the time, Paul White, held him at gunpoint to drive and he waited in the car while White was inside Eidman’s office. He says he didn’t know Eidman was killed until seeing it on the news days later.
    The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that White has already been sentenced to two life terms.
