-Caveat Lector- Why are there so many incidents in this country where people are commiting acts of violence such as murder and arson, and after being apprehended, they explainthat "voices' ordered them to commit these crimes ? If a person was targeted by someone (military/police/CIA ? ) using mind control technology, and the target of the attack was unaware of the true nature of the assault; it would be possible to produce some very *interesting* results. What would happen if an unsuspecting person was bombarded day and night by voices and unpleasant noises which only s/he could hear and from which there was no escape ? What if this targeted individual was deprived of sleep for days on end by these voices/sounds ? What if this "target" was also subjected to high levels of pain (electromagnetically induced using top-secret high-tech weapons) day and night for weeks/months on end ? What if, after months of torture, the "voices" start telling the "target" to KILL a particularperson(s) ? What if the "voices" tell the target that if s/he does as s/he is told, the electronic torture/harassment would stop ? Is it possible to condition a person to respond to a certain STIMULUS (an electromagnetically induced "voice" which only the target can hear, and from which there is no escape) with a specific RESPONSE (e.g. murder, arson, rape, assault) ? Is it possible to cover-up the TRUE nature of these events by labelling the person who was *forced* to commit the crime as "mentally ill" (paranoid/schizophrenic/delusional) ? The answers to these questions *might* be found in the incidents listed below: ================== DEKALB TEEN COMMITTED FOR KILLING TEACHER : YOUTH ALLOWED TO PLEAD NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY IS ORDERED SENT TO STATE MENTAL HOSPITAL FOR INDEFINITE PERIOD. Atlanta Constitution , Thursday, March 25, 1999 by Celia Sibley Page number B2 The Stone Mountain youth who shot and killed a DeKalb Alternative School teacher in 1996 pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity Wednesday and was committed to a state mental hospital indefinitely. A paranoid schizophrenic, David Dubose will be evaluated annually and remain there until doctors and the courts are convinced he is no longer a danger to himself or the community. Testimony before Superior Court Judge Linda Warren Hunter, who accepted the plea, indicated there is little chance that Dubose, now 18, will be released any time soon. Dubose continues to have delusions and hallucinations, despite strong medication, mental health experts testified Wednesday. He is terrified of worms in his body, hears voices and was certain English teacher Horace "Bucky" Morgan was going to kill him that day, Sept. 25, 1996, witnesses said. His violent act came without warning. He called out to the English teacher and then shot him in both shoulders, the back and abdomen. He was standing over the body and starting to reload the gun to fire again when a school official told him to put the gun down on the floor and slide it to him, according to testimony. Once Dubose was restrained, Tim Staley, a school disciplinary official, demanded, "Why did you do that?" Staley testified Wednesday. The boy replied, "Mr. Staley, Dr. Morgan was going to kill me, so I had to kill him first." ---------------- MAN CAN'T STAND TRIAL Augusta Chronicle , Wednesday, May 10, 2000 Associated Press PAGE A07 PITTSBURGH - A court psychiatrist testified Tuesday that a man accused of killing five people in a racially motivated shooting spree is incompetent to stand trial. Dr. Christine Martone said Richard Baumhammers, 34, is a paranoid schizophrenic who hears voices, is delusional and suffers other mental problems. She said Mr. Baumhammers seemed so detached in two interviews last week that she thought he would not be able to help his lawyers in his own defense. --------------- DEFENSE TELLS JURY THAT HAFNER IS SCHIZOPHRENIC Morning Call (Allentown, PA) THURSDAY June 18, 1992 Page number B09 Defense counsel Dennis Charles asked a Lehigh County jury yesterday to acquit Michael Hafner outright or find him "not guilty by reason of mental infirmity" for the shotgun slayings of his parents in their Coopersburg home. He described Hafner as a schizophrenic who, for at least a decade, was bedeviled by this "worst" mental disability. Charles said one possibility is that Hafner did not do the killings. And he noted his client denies having anything to do with them. But he said that if Hafner did slay his parents, as the prosecution claims, he was not mentally responsible for his actions. He said there was no intent on the defendant's part to deprive his 71-year-old father and his 66-year-old mother of their golden years. "Michael had peculiar beliefs that had no basis in reality. He saw dark shadows out of the corner of his eyes and got strange messages from television. He has memory loss and confusion." SLAYING SUSPECT HEARD VOICES EX-WIFE SAYS HIS MENTAL CONDITION DETERIORATED Morning Call (Allentown, PA) TUESDAY June 25, 1991 by KRISTIN CASLER, The Morning Call Page number A01 Michael Hafner is a diagnosed schizophrenic who heard strange noises and voices that threatened his family, his wife of 18 years said yesterday. He told her that "if he ever went, they would take his family with him." Saturday, authorities say, the long-suffering man fatally shot each of his elderly parents twice at close range with a .12-gauge shotgun in their Coopersburg kitchen. He's now on the loose and possibly armed. State police issued a nationwide alert and searched the Lehigh Valley by helicopter yesterday. But District Attorney Robert Steinberg said no one has sighted Hafner and there is indication he may be out of the area. Chris Hafner, who recently divorced Michael Hafner, 38, said that prospect has sent waves of fear through her and their 8- and 10-year-old boys. Police in Tempe, Ariz., are watching her home to protect them and apprehend her ex-husband if he turns up, she said. Autopsies yesterday showed that Leonard Hafner Sr., 71, and his wife, Jacqueline, 66, died about 5 p.m. Saturday, about the time neighbors reported hearing four gunshots, Lehigh County Coroner Wayne Snyder said. Their daughter found them dead about 1:47 p.m. Sunday in their 456 Locust St. home. Michael Hafner served four years in the Air Force, from which he was honorably discharged, the ex-wife said. He was stationed at Andrews Air Force Base during the Vietnam War. But by 1986, Michael Hafner had turned to religious fanaticism, the ex-wife said. He began to hear voices and noises in his head, she said. "He just started flaking out," she said. ------------------ $1 MILLION AWARDED TO FAMILY OF SLAIN WAITRESS The Buffalo News FRIDAY, January 13, 1995 by MATT GRYTA - News Staff Reporter Page number B4 A State Supreme Court jury Thursday ordered Erie County to pay $1,066,000 to the family of a waitress who was stabbed to death nearly 13 years ago by a mental patient who had been released from Erie County Medical Center. A jury found the county negligent in the treatment of Donald Young, a paranoid-schizophrenic, who was released from the hospital a little more than two months before the Feb. 9, 1982, attack on Eleanor Mutka in Joyce's Lunch Box Diner, 95 Pearl St. James T. Scime and Henry Nowak Jr., lawyers for the Mutka family, said the jury award to Mrs. Mutka's husband, Jacob, and their 12 children will be "substantially increased" because interest will be calculated from the day of the attack. The attorneys said they haven't computed the final figure. Scime and Nowak said Young, now 34, was released from a state mental hospital in 1989 after being found not guilty by reason of insanity in the attack on Mrs. Mutka, 53, at the restaurant. Nowak said Young is apparently living somewhere in Buffalo. Scime and Nowak said the county was sued for neglect for treating Young inadequately the three times he was brought to Erie County Medical Center beginning in September 1981 and "prematurely releasing him" on Nov. 27, 1981. When Young was arrested the day of the slaying, he told police he attacked Mrs. Mutka because "voices" told him to kill her. Erie County Attorney Kenneth A. Schoetz said he will appeal. He said the fatal stabbing was "a terrible, terrible tragedy, but the medical center was not responsible for her death." --------------- DAY-CARE LICENSEE TELLS OF KILLING BABY The Buffalo News FRIDAY April 17, 1992 Page number A6 SCHENECTADY (AP) - A young mother, licensed to provide day care in her home, said she killed her infant son in 1990 because voices told her "the baby was evil," District Attorney Robert Carney said Thursday. Schenectady County Judge Clifford T. Harrington on Wednesday accepted a plea of not responsible by reason of mental defect or disease on behalf of Joye Hinkson, who was 19 at the time. Prosecution and defense psychologists testified at the hearing that she was a paranoid schizophrenic and her prognosis for recovery is not good. ------------ HUNSBERGER GETS 10-20 YEARS FOR KILLING MOTHER Morning Call (Allentown, PA) WEDNESDAY May 9, 1990 by CHUCK AYERS, The Morning Call Page number B07 Andrew Hunsberger lived in a spooky world that drifted between reality and a haunting fantasy of voices and secret plots against him. Diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, Hunsberger believed that the Air Force, CIA, his mother and psychiatrist were part of a clandestine plot that required them to sneak into his room at night to pump drugs into his body. To combat the intruders, he started a tape recorder every night before bed and set an alarm to awaken him in an hour. When the alarm went off, he would turn the tape over, to allow the machine to continue recording noises in his bedroom at the Bush House Hotel for another hour while he dozed. The contents of those recordings are part of Hunsberger's rather large psychological file submitted yesterday to Bucks County Judge Edwin G. Hunsberger wept quietly several times while testifying about his mental illness and events that led to the tragic shooting. "I would hear voices. I also thought I could read the minds of people on TV," he said. "I thought I was being hypnotized and drugged. I thought the Air Force and CIA had something to do with it, and I thought my parents were in on it, too," Hunsberger testified. ------------------- Insanity The Defense In Child Killings Crime: MAN WHO RAMMED SCHOOL KIDS FEARED `BRAIN WAVE MAKERS,' LAWYER SAYS. Long Beach Press-Telegram Friday, August 18, 2000 by Cathy Franklin; City News Service Page number A7 SANTA ANA - A man authorities say killed two children by deliberately ramming his car into a Costa Mesa preschool play yard was trying to stop "brain wave makers" from controlling his life, his lawyer said Thursday. In making his case that Steven Abrams, 40, was legally insane at the time of the attack, Deputy Public Defender Leonard Gumlia told a jury that the defendant was a paranoid schizophrenic. The condition began to manifest itself in 1993, the lawyer said in his opening statement, when Abrams was spurned by a woman with whom he had a brief relationship. Abrams began to believe that "somebody had brain wave technology that could control somebody's thoughts and behavior," Gumlia said. The Santa Ana resident is charged with two counts of murder, Abrams sseven counts of attempted murder and the special circumstance allegation of multiple murder and lying in wait. Sierra Beth Soto, 4, and Brandon Wiener, 3, died May 3, 1999, at the Southcoast Early Childhood Learning Center, after being struck and pinned beneath Abrams' 1967 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Four other children and a teacher's aide were injured. Gumlia said that after Abrams' relationship with the woman deteriorated, she got a restraining order, and he was accused of violating it. He later pleaded guilty to stalking, but claimed that "voices" had tricked him. "To his growing horror, he came to know there was a conspiracy against him," Gumlia said, which included the judge that handed him the short jail sentence for stalking. He believed government agencies had devised machines "to read the thoughts of ordinary citizens to see who was guilty" of wrongdoing, and "may even insert thoughts of killing" so that the "scumbags" of society would kill other "scumbags." "Steve Abrams could not bear the thought of killing anyone," Gumlia said. "He didn't want to kill. "He tried to do things to get the brain wave makers to leave him alone," Gumlia said. He held down a job and raised a daughter, but "they continued to label him a killer." Gumlia said his client "thought about killing children at the preschool for two years. He thought about taking action almost daily." The whole system needed to be exposed, he said, and in order to do that he "needed to do something big." "Hurting and killing innocent children was not the goal, in and of itself," Gumlia said. "The brain wave makers may even try to kill Mr. Abrams for this. Mr. Abrams had to get to the real `courtroom,' and it would ultimately lead to his vindication ... he viewed the children as necessary casualties of war." Just before the ramming, Abrams encountered the woman who had spurned him, and wondered if the encounter was a coincidence, or if the invaders in his head "were trying to bring them back together," Gumlia said. "After six years of anguish, Steve Abrams broke." ------------------ LAWYER SAYS SUSPECT IN KIDNAPPING IS ILL Akron Beacon Journal Thursday June 10, 1999 Page number B3 DAYTON - A man accused of holding a woman captive for more than a month and repeatedly raping her is a paranoid schizophrenic who believes God told him to father the woman's children, his attorney said yesterday. Kevin Caes, 33, of Clarksville, Tenn., is on trial on charges of kidnapping, felonious assault and 23 counts of rape. He is accused of abducting a 25-year-old Nashville, Tenn., woman and holding her hostage in the basement of his parents' Dayton home. She eventually escaped by cutting a wire and setting off a security alarm. Defense attorney Dana Martino told the jury that Caes believes God told him to save the woman from gang members, bikers and the police. --------------- Suspect in Fla. killing held in Acadia Parish : Man allegedly killed his uncle, torched body Baton Rouge Advocate Tuesday, June 22, 1999 by MEGAN WOOLHOUSE Pg 3-B CROWLEY - Florida authorities plan to seek extradition of a man who hitchhiked his way to Acadiana after allegedly killing his uncle with a sword and lighting the body on fire. Thomas Pellechio, who used the alias Dude Whitestone, was found by Acadia Parish deputies "acting weird and using profanities" outside of a local church on Sunday, officials said. He was arrested for disturbing the peace. It wasn't until later that Acadia Parish Sheriff's investigators learned from his fingerprints that Pellechio, 29, was wanted in Miami for first-degree murder. Pellechio was also a subject on "America's Most Wanted" the night before, although he was not recognized. He is being held at the Acadia Parish Jail. Lt. Bill Schwartz of the Miami Police Department said Pellechio was considered a very dangerous fugitive after police found the charred body of his uncle on the front lawn of his house on June 10. Around 6:45 a.m. that day, neighbors saw Pellechio dousing what appeared to be a pile of trash with gasoline and lighting it with a match, Schwartz said. Neighbors, who said they also heard screams, yelled to him and saw Pellechio run off with no shirt, shoes or socks on, Schwartz said. Using a garden hose, they extinguished the flames and found a body, which was later identified as Pellechio's uncle, Russell Cameron, 57. Police suspect Pellechio hit his uncle in the head as he took out the trash, and sodomized him with an Oriental-looking sword with a 121/2-inch blade. Schwartz said investigators are looking into the possibility that Pellechio may have been sexually abused, possibly by Cameron. "(The sword) was left in the body up to the hilt," Schwartz said. Pellechio had a history of mental illness, he said, and had been in and out of mental institutions many times. He had reportedly been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. It appeared that Pellechio had also not been taking a prescribed psychiatric medication, Schwartz said. Pellechio was found lying on the ground at an Acadia Parish church screaming that he was possessed by the devil and needed help, Schwartz said. ---------------- DAD WHO STABBED DAUGHTER CALLED INSANE: MAN BELIEVED HE FACED AMBUSH BY THE KLAN, DEFENSE LAWYER SAYS Denver Rocky Mountain News Wednesday, May 22, 1996 by Sue Lindsay Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer Page number 26A Eddie Cordova is a paranoid schizophrenic who stabbed his 9-year-old daughter at a Denver Kmart last year because he thought the Ku Klux Klan was going to ambush him at the store, a defense attorney said Tuesday. ``He thought the only way he could protect her was to take her life,'' said public defender Susan Fisch. ``That's insanity. The act of stabbing his own daughter can only be described as insane.'' Cordova, 30, is on trial in Denver District Court to determine whether he is sane and should stand trial on charges of attempted murder of Raydine Rene Ruby on April 8, 1995. Prosecutors say Cordova cooked up the KKK story to stay out of prison. But both sides agree on these details about the event: Cordova picked his daughter up after school and took her to the Kmart at Broadway and Alameda to shop for clothes and toys. They had eaten pizza and been shopping for several hours when they went to the shoe department. While she was bent down trying on a new pair of shoes, Cordova asked his daughter, ``Do you love me?'' She looked up and replied, ``Yes, I do.'' Cordova pulled out a 4-inch knife from his jacket pocket and plunged it into his daughter's abdomen. He placed his screaming, bleeding daughter in a shopping cart and left the store. When customers and employees came toward him, he backed away and stabbed himself three times in the abdomen. The girl survived and will testify at the trial. Fisch said Cordova believed the customers and employees were KKK members in disguise, carrying guns. She quoted Cordova: ``If they killed me, she would be unprotected. I was all she had.'' --------------- WAS HE AWARE OF HIS ACTIONS? New York Newsday , Wednesday September 26, 1990 by Carolyn Colwell Page number 28 The man accused of being the "Riverhead sniper" knew what he was doing when he shot four men in the winter of 1988, according to the prosecution's opening arguments in his trial yesterday in Riverhead. But the defense contended that Yusef Abdullah Rahman, 21, was suffering from the delusions of a paranoid schizophrenic when he fired those shots and believed that he was on a military combat mission with Tall Man, Radio Man, Blaster and five other soldiers. Rahman is on trial in Suffolk County Court on charges that he murdered Bernard Timothy Heaney on Dec. 5, 1988, outside his auto-body shop in Flanders, shot Richard Jensen in the head on Dec. 6, 1988, by firing through the window of Jensen's house, shot Theodore Squires in the right shoulder after he answered a knock on his door on Dec. 7, 1988, and shot Donald Crump in the chin on Dec. 8, 1988, as he sat in his living room. Rahman is also charged with shooting at a Southampton Police officer on Jan. 1, 1989. In his opening arguments yesterday, Assistant District Attorney Randall Hinrichs said that the videotaped statement that Rahman gave police clearly shows that Rahman knew what he was doing, knew what the consequences of his actions were, and knew it was wrong. "To do what he did, this defendant obviously had problems," Hinrichs said. But that does not mean, Hinrichs added, that Rahman should be found not responsible by reason of a mental disease or defect. He advised the jurors that they will be "reaching a verdict in this case. You don't come back with a diagnosis." Rahman's defense attorney, Eric Naiburg, said that expert testimony will show that his client is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and therefore should be found not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect. Naiburg said that as a 20-year-old Rahman played with toy soldiers and was obsessed with military things. He said Rahman believed that the shootings were military operations. SUSPECT FIT FOR TRIAL IN SNIPING New York Newsday, Tuesday May 16, 1989 by Don Smith and Phil Mintz Page number 19 Two psychiatrists testified yesterday that Yusef Abdullah Rahman, the suspect in a series of East End sniping attacks, quickly convinced them he was competent to stand trial after he overcame his initial reluctance to be quizzed by making a phone call to his lawyer. The doctors, testifying before Suffolk County Court Judge Harvey Sherman, also said that two court-appointed doctors, who concluded Rahman was a paranoid schizophrenic not competent to stand trial, did not understand the law nor the narrow legal area - competency to understand the charges and assist in a defense - that they had been asked to consider. The doctors who testified yesterday had been retained by the prosecution. Sherman held the hearing to determine whether Rahman is competent to stand trial. Rahman is charged with the murder of one man and the wounding of three others in the Riverhead-Southampton area during December. He also is charged with reckless endangerment for allegedly shooting at a Southampton Town police car on New Year's Day. The prosecution's doctors, Seymour Block and Allen Reichman, both said yesterday that Rahman's account of voices over a military radio ordering him and some unidentified others to kill and shoot people might be of great help to his court-appointed lawyer, Eric Naiburg, in putting together an insanity defense for the trial. ========== MAN NOT GUILTY IN SLAYING CASE JUDGE RULES INSANITY; VICTIM WAS 72-YEAR-OLD NEIGHBOR Omaha World-Herald, Wednesday, February 17, 1999 by PAUL HAMMEL WORLD-HERALD BUREAU Pg 21 Lincoln - A Newport, Neb., man, a diagnosed schizophrenic who sometimes referred to himself as "King Tut," Tuesday was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the fatal shooting of a neighbor. Rock County District Judge William Cassel ordered Vance "Rod" Alderman, 39, committed to the Lincoln Regional Center for evaluation after a brief court hearing. Alderman shot 72-year-old Eleanor Thompson of Newport on May 24 as she sat in her home watching television. Her husband, Willard, a second cousin of Alderman's, was a few feet away in the kitchen at the time. Psychiatrists for the prosecution and defense submitted reports Tuesday indicating that Alderman was mentally ill at the time of the slaying and could not differentiate between right and wrong. After ruling Tuesday that Alderman was fit to stand trial, Cassel then found him not guilty by reason of insanity. A May 17 court hearing was set to determine a treatment plan. One of Alderman's attorneys, Clarence Mock III of Oakland, said that his client could not resist "voices" within him and that he needs extensive treatment in a locked facility. Alderman was first diagnosed as a schizophrenic at age 21. He has been in and out of mental institutions and on various medications ever since. Alderman's father, Sonny, a Rock County commissioner, said his son frequently ran away from his Newport home to escape internal voices and, at times, went days without sleep. ------------------- FAST-FOOD RESTAURANT KILLER IS DELUSIONAL, DOCTOR TESTIFIES Commercial Appeal (Memphis) , TUESDAY, April 20, 1999 The Associated Press, Page number B4 NASHVILLE - Convicted killer Paul Reid is a "delusional schizophrenic" convinced the government has surveillance videotapes that prove he didn't murder two restaurant workers, a psychologist testified Monday. Reid believes he is "a special test subject to be observed, to be followed and to be studied," Columbia University clinical psychologist Xavier Amador said during the second day of the penalty phase of Reid's trial. Reid was convicted last week of first-degree murder in the 1997 deaths of Captain D's restaurant workers Steve Hampton, 25, and Sarah Jackson, 16. Jurors will decide whether to sentence Reid to death or to life in prison, with or without the possibility of parole. Criminal Court Judge Cheryl Blackburn has said she hopes to get the case to jurors today. Reid is convinced the government has been watching him for years and eventually will come forward with the videotapes that show he is innocent of the murders, Amador said. ----------------- DOCTORS SAY STUDENT ISN'T COMPETENT FOR A TRIAL Commercial Appeal (Memphis) FRIDAY, December 19, 1997 by Lawrence Buser, The Commercial Appeal Page number B1 A college student charged with killing two people and wounding another in three shootings in April is a paranoid schizophrenic and not competent to stand trial, according to psychiatric reports filed Thursday. Christopher M. Flake, 25, of Germantown complains of hearing voices telling him to hurt others and telling about the World Trade Center bombing in New York, doctors from the Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute said. On the evening of April 5, Michael Fultz, 31, was shot to death in the garage of his home in the 2400 block of Bassfield near Bartlett. Flake once worked part-time for Fultz, a tennis court contractor. About 30 minutes later, Fred Bizot, 70, was gunned down while standing outside an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at Holy Apostles Episcopal Church. Flake, who has admitted the shooting, had attended meetings at the church in previous weeks. The following night, counselor Turner Carpenter, 67, was wounded in his office at Central Church at 6655 Winchester when a man identified as Flake opened fire on him. Flake had been to Carpenter for counseling in the past. Doctors at MTMHI say Flake, who was studying criminal justice at the University of Memphis, ``admits to auditory and visual hallucinations, (and) persecutory delusional thinking . . . Needs complete stabilization with medications and therapy to avoid danger to himself and to others.'' They said if involuntary treatment is not continued, Flake's mental illness is likely to deteriorate rapidly. ------------------- DEATH PENALTY FOR INSANE KILLER IS NOT JUSTICE The Fresno Bee , SUNDAY, August 8, 1999 by MOLLY IVINS On Aug. 17, the state of Texas is scheduled to kill Larry Robison, a paranoid schizophrenic whose insanity was diagnosed long before he committed a terrible crime. This is like putting someone to death for having cancer or being paraplegic. It is freakish that he ever stood trial at all. Robison is the son of schoolteachers in Fort Worth. Ken and Lois Robison raised eight chil- dren together -- four from her first marriage (her husband died of a malignant brain tumor when Larry was 2), two from his first marriage and two of theirs. She is now retired from teaching third grade, but Ken still teaches at the community college. When Larry was a teen-ager, he began hearing voices, announcing that he had secret special mental powers and acting strangely. Lois Robison later learned that schizophrenia, a disease that often comes with a genetic heritage, ran in her late husband's family. Larry joined the Air Force but was back home after one year. Only later was the family told that the Air Force dismissed him because of his bizarre behavior. Rather than provide him with any care, the Air Force gave him a general discharge. On the night of Aug. 10, 1982, Larry Robison murdered five people. He first killed his roommate, Ricky Bryant, in a hideous fashion, beheading and mutilating him in a manner that Larry believed was being dictated by the voices in his head, the clocks in the room and the stories of the Old Testament. He then went to the house next door and shot and stabbed four people. ---------------- LAWYER SAYS SALVI MENTALLY ILL St. Paul Pioneer Press , Thursday, February 15, 1996 Page number 4A DEDHAM, Mass. - John Salvi's lawyer told a jury Wednesday that Salvi is a schizophrenic who was driven to kill two abortion clinic workers by delusions of a conspiracy against Roman Catholics. ``It was the plan of someone who was mentally ill and acting on his delusions,'' defense attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said in his opening statement at Salvi's murder trial. Salvi, 23, of Hampton, N.H., is charged with killing two receptionists and wounding five other people at the Planned Parenthood and Preterm Health Services clinics in the Boston suburb of Brookline. Salvi, who was raised a Catholic, believed Catholics were being persecuted by Freemasons, the Mafia and the Ku Klux Klan, defense attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said. Carney said the Dec. 30, 1994, shootings were triggered by the murders of Catholic priests in Algeria a few days earlier. -------------- SHOOTING SUSPECT IS SCHIZOPHRENIC : ALLEGED KILLER OF BUS DRIVER COMPLAINED OF MIND CONTROL Spokane Spokesman-Review , Thursday, November 27, 1997 by Adam Lynn Staff writer , Pg. B1 COLVILLE - The man accused of fatally shooting a school bus driver while seven horrified students watched is a diagnosed schizophrenic who hears voices in his head and believes he is the subject of "mind-control experiments," his lawyer said Wednesday. James E. Iverson also claims he has implants in his teeth that send electric jolts through his skull whenever someone uses a citizens-band radio near him, court-appointed attorney John Troberg said. Iverson says he sees black and white flashes, "like a strobe light," and his head grows extremely hot when the implants are activated, Troberg said. "He says the feeling is similar to that of a dog shocker," Troberg told Superior Court Judge Larry Kristianson during Iverson's first court appearance. "Mr. Iverson feels he is being used for some type of mind-control techniques." Stevens County deputies suspect Iverson shot 61-year-old Frank Eslick to death with a hunting rifle Monday. The attack came about 3:30 p.m., shortly after deputies received a call for help from two loggers who said a man, thought to be Iverson, shot at them as they drove past his house on rural McNitt Road, about five miles east of Barstow, Wash. Deputies were rolling to that address when Eslick stopped Orient School District bus No. 6 outside the cedar-sided house at 2721 McNitt to drop off one of Iverson's sons, Stevens County Prosecutor Jerry Wetle said Wednesday. Seven students who were still on the bus told investigators a shot rang out just after the Iverson boy stepped off the bus, Wetle said in court. ============= MARtin F.
