Schizophrenic Killer Uses Cannabis

A 71-year-old man with schizophrenia, who strangled his cellmate in 2004 and was deemed not criminally responsible, is now raising alarms after admitting to smoking cannabis — a violation of his conditional discharge. Despite being released in 2015 and living with his brother, he remains unable to consent to treatment and is under strict supervision.

His history of violent crimes and substance abuse, combined with recent noncompliance, has triggered renewed concerns about his mental health and the need for transparency and ongoing oversight.
