The investigation was closed in April 2006, but an FBI agent was assigned to monitor Hinrichs monthly to ensure he wasn't a threat to himself or others.

Does this strike anyone else as peculiar? Since when does the FBI 'monitor' citizens, however odd?

Incidentally, Hinrichs should have been found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed, not imprisoned.

” ... Incidentally, Hinrichs should have been found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed, not imprisoned. ...”

I know it would seem that way, but there is a prosecution witness that would blow that out of the water - his own father:

” ... The elder Hinrichs told police his son knows right from wrong but has mental health problems. ...”

The legal test is the “knowing right from wrong” determination. Otherwise, I might agree, only because of Andrea Yates and her re-trial. He will definitely have problems in prison, though.
