Although the reference is a vague "he" and clarification is from one source (as noted in the article) it is likely the perp may have other issues - hearing voices. "Following Tuesday's hearing, West's defense attorney Robert Sletvold said he was still investigating if his client has a mental health diagnosis."
The alleged gunman in a shooting spree that left three people dead in the Lehigh Valley told investigators a voice told him not to be so "picky" with his victims, a detective testified Tuesday.Alleged killing spree gunman claimed the devil made him do it | lehighvalleylive.com
"The voice was telling (Todd West), 'Just eat, eat, stop being so picky,'" Allentown police Detective John Brixius III testified.
When West was asked if police had the getaway car used in his crime wave, West told them he knew police had the car, "because he told him, referring to the devil," Brixius said.
The detective's account is one of an estimated 15 witnesses who are expected at a preliminary hearing, which started Tuesday afternoon and is continuing into the evening.
