20 May 2003Fears on trialDaniel Fears, the Sallisaw teenager accused of a shooting spree last fall that killed two and injured eight others, has been ruled competent to stand trial. A preliminary hearing has been set for the 2nd of September; in the meantime, Fears remains in the Sequoyah County jail. During the competency hearing, it was disclosed that Fears identifies with Dr Hannibal Lecter (please tell me he didn't do this to impress Clarice), and believes he is influenced by extraterrestrials (something I doubt Dr Lecter would endorse). I'm surprised he didn't blame it on the Matrix. Posted by: Cam at 6:24 PM on 20 May 2003All they need to do is get him one of these. He'll be all set. Posted by: Marc at 7:04 PM on 20 May 2003Geez. I need one of those for reading Democratic Underground. Posted by: CGHill at 8:44 PM on 20 May 2003 |
