Convicted killer David Sweat remains hospitalized in Albany with two bullet wounds. Yesterday, his condition was upgraded to stable condition and he was talking with investigators. Authorities said Sweat has started telling them details of the getaway plan he and fellow escapee Richard Matt devised with prison employee Joyce Mitchell. The men were planning to kill Mitchell’s husband Lyle, before getting in the car and driving to Mexico. But when Mitchell didn’t pick them up after they escaped, they decided to go to Canada instead according to Sweat. He also told investigators he split from Matt five days before Matt was shot and killed on Friday. One of the big questions remaining is how the pair managed to evade capture for three weeks.
