Court: Convicted cop-killer to stay committed
By: Associated Press//June 21, 2011//
Listen to this articleMADISON, Wis. (AP) — A man convicted of killing two Wisconsin police officers several decades ago has once again been denied release from a mental institution.
Alan Adin Randall pleaded insanity to killing the officers at age 16 during a burglary in the mid-1970s. He was committed to a mental hospital with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia.
He filed three requests for conditional release in the 1990s. All were denied on the basis that he was still considered a danger to himself or others.
Randall tried again in 2008, repeating his claims that he was not currently mentally ill and could be released with certain conditions.
A trial court denied that petition. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals upheld the denial Tuesday.
A message left with Randall’s attorney was not immediately returned.
