PENSACOLA, Fla. — A man who claimed he killed a retired police officer because he thought the "A" on the victim's University of Alabama baseball cap meant he was the Antichrist has been sentenced to death.
In addition to the death sentence, Ryan Thomas Green, 22, was given two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole for the attempted murder and robbery of a housepainter, who was shot and now uses a wheelchair.
Green apologized at his sentencing hearing Wednesday to the families of the former officer, James Hallman, who was shot to death Feb. 23, 2003, and the housepainter, Christopher Phipps.
"From the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry," Green said.
The jury that found Green guilty in October recommended 10-2 that he be put to death. The death sentence will be appealed automatically.
Green had testified during the trial that a talking bull, religious signs, colors and symbols influenced him to shoot Hallman. He was initially declared mentally incompetent but underwent treatment and was later was found competent for trial. He also had received treatment at a mental health facility before the shootings.
Now there is nothing about this story which demonstrates the damage done by religion to the fragile psyche of some sensitive people. Nothing!
By the way if I meet a talking bull who tells me to kill you.......you are so dead!
I love the part where he identified him because of the "A" on his cap! I just have to wonder if the Anti-christ would be helpful enough to wear clothing with some indentifying markings on it? I mean it would make it a lot easier if he would cooperate, wouldn't it?
