Grand Jury Declares Whitman Crazy Deranged in Texas
A grand jury in Austin says Charles Whitman was a crazy deranged man who killed his mother and wife before firing on 13 people from the University of Texas Tower. The panel notes a brainstem tumor may have contributed to his actions, while a pathologist says it could not explain the killings. Autopsy findings and notes from Whitman’s mind provoked ongoing debate as authorities planned to release results with this report.
