Convicted of Raping Woman in Arkansas
Robert V. Schieck, 42, of Russellville, was convicted Tuesday on a charge of raping a 20-year-old woman. The jury sentenced him to life in prison. He had been convicted in 1964 and given life, but a state Supreme Court order for a new trial followed due to evidence of a prior Tape conviction. The state said Schieck told the woman he was taking her to a recording audition before attacking her on Mt. Nebo and near Lake Nimrod.
