POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) — A former teacher who admitted killing a teenager and eating part of his body 27 years ago still belongs in a secured mental ward, two psychiatrists told a judge.
Dr. Khin Myo testified Wednesday that Albert Fentress did not currently display symptoms of major mental illness but said he cannot grasp Paul Masters' murder, or why he sexually mutilated and cannibalized the young man.

Fentress petitioned the state Supreme Court to be released from a locked prison ward in Orange County, 50 miles north of New York City.

He was found innocent by reason of insanity in the 1979 murder and mutilation of Masters, 18.

The middle school teacher confessed to killing Masters after the youth wandered into his yard. Fentress lured him into the basement, tied him to a post, sexually abused and mutilated him, and shot him twice in the head before cooking and eating parts of his body.

Fentress had lived in a non-secure psychiatric hospital in Suffolk County until 2002, when he admitted sexually abusing two young boys years before.

Myo said Fentress cannot describe that abuse or the killing. "If he can't remember it, or talk about it, he isn't dealing with it," Myo said.

The psychiatrist and Dr. Muthaiah Chandrasekahara, who both evaluated Fentress, contend he suffers from sexual sadism and pedophilia.

The hearing was to resume July 6.

Couldn't think of a better candidate for mandatory castration and an old-fashioned style lobotomy.  As a MH worker, I shouldn't think like that; but I'm a mother and a member of society first and foremost.

This is why I won't work with criminally insane people.  I wouldn't be able to handle it.

Pass the barbecue sauce... Seriously, though, I agree; he shouldn't be out on the streets.  As a citizen, and NOT someone in the mental health field, I'm against lobotomizing him, but only because it's too quick... Give him shock treatment until it fries his prefrontal cortex.  Slow and painful, kinda like being cooked and eaten!

I like to think that I'm a very tolerant person, but there are some people who are simply using up valuable oxygen.

[psychadellic one]

As a father of five i prefer to see people like this locked away permanently, one less in society is one more i won't have to worry about.
Hopefully some bleeding heart liberal doesn't take up his cause and get him released, although it doesn't sound likely.

Here in CA, if you are found to be a CPC 1026 Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity.   You go away to a High Security Hospital.

If you are found to be Miraculously "cured" of your insanity, there is a provsion in our penal code that allows for you to be re-tried.
It legally negates the double jeopardy.

In which case you are found guilty, and sent to prison, where someone might 'accidentally' let you out into common housing..
And the locals will send ya out the way Dahmer went.


Kinda nice eh?

C.P.C. § 1026 happens to be a personal favorite of mine.  It's rather lengthy, but if you're interested, you can find it here.  One of the hazards of my working for an attorney at one point in my checkered past.  Love them Penal Codes.

She's the one who taught me about it..  It's her fault that knowledge is in my head.

[O'Sullivan]

I think a lobotomy would be a little too blissfull for this guy.. Death too.. So, maybe a good buggering with a hot poker?.. I donno.. I'd chip in on that one.

[Ectoplasmic Terrier]

Hmmm....I've read about most cannibal killers.  Never heard of this dude, though.  What a sick bunny!
I don't have any ideas on what's to be done, but all you guys have some good suggestions.
