Murder by Insanity
I read the "Conservative Culture" blog on Sunday and discovered an article "I'm insane only when I murder people".
It's so true. If a person commits murder and gets caught, what's the only thing to do? Plead insanity! This is exactly what Daniel Hawke Fears did when he went on a shooting rampage. He killed 2 people, shot 8 others and the moment he's arrested he loudly exclaims "The Aliens are controlling my brain!" -- It's a perfect defense in Oklahoma. During the trial we discovered that a "would be" girlfriend turned him down the day before and I think he was simply mad. After taking about 50 decongestant tablets, he called his friend and asked "do you want to go for a ride to oblivion?" Sound to me this should have been a case of drug abuse - not insanity.
He knew what he was doing - all he had to do was "act crazy" when the Psychologists show up, then sit back and let his expensive law firm in Tulsa take over. His attorney Rob Nigh also defended Timothy McVeigh (OKC bomber) in federal court. This firm will take any scumbag as long as they can pay mega bucks or get them some national publicity.
Here's an interesting point, in court his lawyer said he was "playing a game" where aliens were controlling him and the object was to kill as many people as he could in the least amount of time. Except..........except.......his neighbor across the street who was standing in her driveway when the shooting began. He pointed the shotgun at her but lowered it when he recognized her. This woman was the only person who ever talked to Fears when he visited his father. She would ask him about school, his truck, etc. So...he was "playing" a game? If so, he seemed to be the one in control (not the aliens)
Now Fears will convince the Psychologists in the mental hotel that he's cured and ready to get back to his violent video games and recreational drugs. (His defense team said he was "self-medicating"....give me a break)
My brother brought-up an excellent point the other day. He said Jeffery Dahlmer went to jail and no one thought he was insane. My God....Dahlmer ate his victims, in fact he said he preferred certain types of "meat" over others. If anyone was insane it's Dahlmer!
Please do what you can to publicize this case...we should expect a certain level of safety in our communities. Oklahoma law will allow this punk to walk away (Title 43A Legislation) and move on with his life. It's got to stop.
Thanks for letting me vent.
