Oklahoma City Psychiatrist Rules Slayings Not Intentional
UF psychiatrists differed on whether William E. Cook Jr was criminally insane when he killed five members of the Mossers family in Atwood Oklahoma City. Dr Hugh Galbraith testified Cook had the mentality of a three year old and was emotionally backward unable to plan. He lived in a world of his own and could be dangerous for years to come. Cook admitted the kidnapping in Oklahoma County December 30 and said he shot the Mossers after three days in captivity. He sat silent as Judge Chandler questioned his understanding of the case in the county hearing.
