@Payton Moreland : 本期节目探讨了@Larry Sanders 杀害@Jimmy Knighten 的案件。Larry声称自己杀害Jimmy是为了自卫,因为他相信Jimmy召唤了大脚怪来吃掉他。案件中涉及到Larry的长期吸毒史和精神健康问题,这些问题可能导致了他的幻觉和妄想。虽然Larry承认杀害了Jimmy,但他坚称自己是在自卫,并且相信大脚怪的存在。检察官则认为Larry的行为是蓄意谋杀,他清楚地知道自己所做的事情是错误的。最终,法官判决Larry犯有一级谋杀罪,判处无假释终身监禁。这个案件引发了人们对于精神疾病与犯罪之间界限的思考,以及如何处理那些在精神疾病影响下犯下罪行的人。 本案中,Larry Sanders的证词充满离奇色彩,他声称Jimmy Knighten用号角召唤了大脚怪,并试图将他献祭给大脚怪。Larry描述了看到多个大脚怪的场景,以及他和Jimmy之间激烈的搏斗。这些说法缺乏证据支持,被认为是Larry的幻觉或妄想。然而,Larry的吸毒史和精神健康问题为他的行为提供了一定的解释。 尽管Larry的辩护律师试图以正当防卫为由为其辩护,但法官最终认为Larry的行为并非出于正当防卫,而是蓄意谋杀。法官的判决也引发了人们对于司法公正和精神疾病患者权利的讨论。 Larry Sanders: 我杀害了Jimmy Knighten,因为我相信他试图把我献祭给大脚怪。那天,我在河边看到Jimmy用号角召唤了大脚怪,我感到非常害怕,为了自保,我不得不杀了他。我知道杀人是错的,但我当时真的相信自己处于危险之中。我看到三个大脚怪,一个黑色的,一个棕色的,一个红色的,它们都很高大,浑身长毛。Jimmy试图把我骗进水里,所以我用棍子打了Jimmy,然后我们发生了激烈的搏斗。我掐死了Jimmy,直到他停止挣扎。我并非故意要杀他,我只是想保护自己。 我承认我吸过毒,但那天我没有吸毒。我的精神状态一直不太好,我长期以来都相信大脚怪的存在。那天,我的恐惧感被放大了,我失去了理智。我承认我犯了错,但我希望人们能够理解我的处境。我当时真的相信自己正在被大脚怪威胁,我别无选择,只能自卫。我知道我的说法听起来很疯狂,但这是我当时真实的想法和感受。我请求法官能够考虑我的精神状况,并给我一个公正的判决。 Jimmy Knighten: (无法提供观点,因为Jimmy Knighten已遇害)
