A man who said voices in his head told him to kill six members of his ex-wife’s family in Texas, including four children, was found guilty of capital murder Thursday by a jury that rejected his insanity defense.
Now 20, Stay bowed her head and clasped her hands as if in prayer before the verdict was read Thursday. Afterward, she wiped away tears and smiled as she hugged prosecutors in the Houston courtroom. In a loud whisper, Stay told one of them: “We did it.”Haskell displayed no reaction to the verdict. He looked down at the floor, as he had throughout the trial.
“We’re looking for life without parole. We want to save his life. That’s our job,” said Neal Davis III, one of Haskell’s attorneys.Prosecutors alleged Haskell was motivated by vengeance and not mental illness in the killings. Authorities said he had plotted to hurt anybody who helped his ex-wife, Melannie Lyon, after she left him.
