Murder defendant in beheading case claimed he was mistreated at work to justify actions

[NaturalHigh]

NORMAN — The murder defendant accused of beheading a co-worker at a Moore food plant justified what he did by claiming he and others were mistreated there, a psychologist said Tuesday.

"He said, 'They weren't treating me fairly,'" psychologist Shawn Roberson testified Tuesday.

Cleveland County District Judge Lori Walkley is hearing testimony in a two-day trial to determine if Alton Alexander Nolen is competent or must undergo treatment at a state mental hospital.

Roberson evaluated Nolen for an hour April 6 at the request of the judge. Roberson determined Nolen is competent and also found no indication of mental retardation.

1. Well, no matter how disgruntled you might be, you cannot

behead a co-worker. We have to 'just say no' to that type of behavior.

5. Yes, maybe what that company needs are some Inspirational Posters on the walls..

like:

"Just say 'No' to cutting off the head of the guy next to you".

2. Certainly a mitigating circumstance when it comes to cutting off heads

I hope I don't need the sarcasm thingy...My one question is:

Has everyone in this country gone insane? I so often feel that way.

3. As I recall, he had been a problem employee already.

He wasn't well-liked by his co-workers, and it's pretty obvious why.

4. Well, I guess he showed them, didn't he?

Seriously, he's nuts, criminally insane.
