Accused Killer Will Plead Guilty for a Philly Cheesesteak

By Scott Willson · 2026-11-09

Robert Kessler, a 74 year old blind man in a wheelchair, is on trial in Tampa for second degree murder and abuse of a corpse in the 2021 death of Stephanie Crone Overholts, a Pennsylvania mother of three. In court, Kessler told Hillsborough Circuit Judge Nick Nazaretian he would plead guilty in exchange for a Philly cheesesteak with onions and mayo, fries and a 20 ounce Pepsi. The judge said he had never heard a request like that in almost 40 years and that he couldn’t trade food for a plea, but he would make sure Kessler got lunch.

All right, so to start this blog, I do not condone murder at all. Murder is bad. I do not like murder. I don’t think I will ever be a murderer, and when I say I don’t think I’ll ever be a murderer, I mean I’m 99.9% sure I’ll never be a murderer, but you can’t fully rule anything out 100%. But I don’t think I’m going to be a murderer.

That being said, if I do find myself caught in a bloody murder, and I did it, and I’m sitting in front of the court, goddamn right I’ll take a plea deal for a Philly cheesesteak with onions, fries and a 20 ounce. I’m an iced tea guy, so it would be an iced tea, not a Pepsi. And I would ask for extra cheese on the Philly cheesesteak. But yeah, I will save the taxpayers money for that plea deal offer.

This is the best plea deal offer in a murder case that I’ve ever heard in my entire fucking life. Go rot in jail, you scumbag, if you’re a murderer. I don’t even know the facts of the case, but goddamn if I don’t respect this guy a little.
