THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

The Spice of Death -- Arizona

This guy should never have been released from a penal/correctional mental health facility, or should have been civilly committed by the state when his sentence expired.

He spent 10 years in a state mental hospital after stabbing a relative in 2003. He was found "guilty, except insane" on charges of attempted second-degree murder in the attack, a verdict that spared him prison time.

Here's what happened just months after a team of psychiatrists opted to set him free in society again.


^ Kenneth Wakefield, 43, faces one count of first-degree murder and two counts of animal cruelty.

Police discovered his wife Trina Heisch's decapitated body along with two dead dogs inside a closet in her apartment near Camelback Road and 13^th Place in Phoenix on July 25. They also located a large amount of blood and several bloody knives inside the apartment.

Wakefield gouged his own eye out and cut off his left lower arm after the murder. He told police he was trying to get the evil out of Trina and that he'd used Spice shortly before the incident, court records show.

In November 2014, a state psychiatric board issued an order for county prosecutors to try to extend his stay after parole psychiatrists deemed he would no longer be a danger to society if he was released to residential care. The board's chairwoman has said the panel did everything it could in the case to ensure community safety.

The Maricopa County attorney's office acknowledged earlier this week that it was unsuccessful. "Evidentiary issues precluded us from proceeding with the civil commitment process," said spokesman Jerry Cobb, declining to elaborate because the case is under seal.

Wakefield's wife Trina Heisch also had a history of mental illness. A judge found her to be "guilty, except insane" on charges of attempted second-degree murder in the stabbing of her 15-year-old son while he was sleeping in January 2000. She was ordered to spend 10 years in the state hospital and was eventually released.

Heard about this guy last week. We really need to fix the mental health portion of our system, although it's not just here. Some psycho in Israel did 10 years for stabbing someone at a gay pride rally, got out and stabbed someone at a gay pride rally.
