Second Mistrial In Social Security Guard Stabbing Case
From the
Chatham, VA Star-Tribune:
A Gretna man accused of stabbing a Social Security office guard
remains in custody after a second jury trial ended in a mistrial
Thursday.
Byron Clements, 50, was charged with one count of aggravated
malicious wounding for allegedly stabbing Jason Alsbaugh several times
at the Social Security Administration office in Danville in February
2011. ...
Twelve jurors remained deadlocked after nearly six hours of deliberation
following a two-day trial in Pittsylvania County Circuit Court. ...
Defense attorney Glenn Berger said psychiatric specialists say Clements,
who has a history of schizophrenia, should be found not guilty by
reason of insanity.

With this type of evidence, does this mean he is awarded disability benefits? Or will he have to wait until B & B represents him before an ALJ (and gets their cut from retro benefits)?
Sounds like he's a danger to the public and should "detained". Maybe next time he gets mad he grabs a gun? But this is America, I'm sure hell go free to strike again.
Of course, SSA offices are gun-free zones, so the employees will be perfectly safe.
Gun free, yes, presumably. Metal detectors or wands - not in my office. Anyone could walk in with one if they wanted.
