I always got the impression that the murderer was developmentally delayed i.e. retarded, as opposed to someone who killed while he was high on drugs. Even if that is the case, this young man is too dangerous to move about in general society, and must be kept away from it.
Not so mentally delayed since he knew enough to try to burn her belongings.
About a year before the murder, he was the libs’ poster child. Yes, Criner, you made a name for yourself. See page 13 at https://issuu.com/thspublications/docs/ths_dec_17_2015
