He served 16 years in Massachusetts for manslaughter in the 1991 stabbing death of his mother.

I am in agreement with you on this. I just can't get into my head how a manslaughter conviction could be appropriate in a stabbing death. The idea doesn't compute that he meant to stab his Mother but didn't mean to kill her (necessary conclusion for a manslaughter conviction). What a tragedy for his Washington State neighbors. I wonder what sort of a plea deal he will get this time?

I'm surprised they haven't already said the "name" he was called that caused him to start shooting was a racial epithet, and he was defending himself against a hate crime.

I hope his defense attorney doesn't read that.

“I wonder what sort of a plea deal he will get this time?”...It’s beyond rediculous that we have to put up with this from these judges. The killer obviously has a major life malfunction. Why the hell do these jackass judges put all of us at risk by dropping them back into society?
