Prayers for a deeply misguided individual.
At Mr. Lists trial in 1990, a psychiatrist for the prosecution testified that Mr. List had been suffering only from a midlife crisis when he slaughtered his family and that he had enjoyed life in the years afterward.
Mr. List was convicted of murder and sentenced to five life terms in prison. He appealed, unsuccessfully, on grounds that his judgment had been impaired by post-traumatic stress disorder from military service in World War II and Korea and that his letter to the pastor should have been kept confidential.
In a 2002 television interview on ABC with Connie Chung, Mr. List was asked why he did not take his own life if he felt so overwhelmed. Mr. List said that he thought suicide would have barred him from heaven and that he had hoped to be reunited there with his family.
I doubt that he is being reunited with his family, unless any members of his family are also burning in Hell.
Good riddance.
