UPDATE: Former biker Robert Bostic has been found guilty of murder in the cold case killing of fellow biker Carlton Richmond. Bostic murdered Richmond on June 25, 1982 when Richmond didn't immediately pay up on a bet that Bostic could pound back a bottle of Jack Daniels. “I’m really glad he was found guilty because it’s been 29 years,” said Richmond’s sister, Victoria Hargis.

Carlton Richmond, PICTURED LEFT, June 25, 1982 in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. He called a pal and issued the edict.
He said: “Tell them to say the same story they said the last time, you know."
The murder went ice cold pretty quick despite an army of bikers nearby when it
happened. Bostic was busted in January in Florida, where he lives after four witnesses came forward and fingered him in the killing. Some have since recanted.
“I told him pretty much nothing. I didn’t remember much from that long ago,” John Winandy said of his questioning last November by Det. Gary Lunn. But Lunn testified Winandy claimed he saw Bostic standing “a few feet” from Richmond just after the shooting and heard the dying man exclaim, “You shot me.” Lunn, however, acknowledged Winandy was never asked to make a written statement detailing his new claims.
