AKRON, Ohio An Ohio man who reportedly believed Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak instructed him to kill his elderly mother has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports a judge made the ruling Thursday in the murder case against 48-year-old Derrick Williams.
Defense attorney Brian Pierce says Williams believed he was getting messages from the TV game show when he heard his hometown mentioned. He thought Sajak was telling him to kill his mother when Sajak said, Do it.
Pierce says Williams was off his medication and clearly was psychotic.

If you’ve ever encountered someone who is genuinely psychotic, off medications, it can be very dramatic. They lose touch with reality.

They need to charge Sajak.

Yes. Often from 1966 into 1969. I was working nights at a state mental hospital while going to a junior college days.
Then the Marxists thought it was criminal to lock them up.
Since them weve had such psychotic fueled mayhem as Sandy Hook, Columbine, the Batman movie killer, the nut who shot Gabbie Gifford and others. The list is really large. The Marxists love it. Its a Saul Alinsky wet dream.

Pierce says Williams was off his medication and clearly was psychotic.Hold on now... Pat Sajak did say 'do it'. I think Mr. Sajak should be called to testify. When he said 'do it' maybe he WAS telling this dude to kill his mother.... Just saying.

First the Beatles (Charlie Manson). Then, a barking dog (Son of Sam). Then Jodie Foster (John Hinkley). Now Pat Sajak.
Who's giving these orders????

Well, the contestant said he’d like to solve the puzzle. Now if killing the mother was part of the programs puzzle he might have a case.
