Schizophrenia Made Me Do It: Kill My Co-Worker

Poor Kathy DeBell (pictured). She had just started work at a K-Mart, (which seems penance enough) when she was shot and killed by Anthony Law, someone she didn't know. Now DeBell's family is finding the incredible generosity to be sympathetic to Law.

From the Denver Channel:

"No matter what happens to him or what his motives were or what's going on, nothing's going to bring Kathy back, so we don't think about it that much. We know the poor man must have been a very troubled person," said Robert Thompson, DeBell's stepfather.

That man is made of strong stuff.
