Isla Vista cases
In February 2001, his son David killed five people with his vehicle in the and was ruled legally insane and sentenced to 60 years in a mental institution. He was released in 2012 after serving 10 years.[2] Several eyewitnesses said they heard his son shout "I am the Angel of Death" and other satanic phrases moments after the collision.[3]
