Distressed after losing his job at Starbucks in December 2010, accused cannibal Tyree Lincoln Smith asked his brother-in-law to get him a gun.
“He was hearing voices that were instructing him to kill certain people: a pedophile priest, a cop in Bridgeport he thought was involved in drugs,” Yale University psychiatrist Dr. Reena Kapoor testified Monday.
Kapoor testified that Smith’s behavior so frightened his family they reported the incident to officials in California, where he was living, and officials took his young son away from Smith. Kapoor’s testimony is the crux of the defense case to prove Smith was insane when he killed and cannibalized Angel “Tun Tun” Gonzalez.
The police officer and priest were not identified.
