Extreme Evil - Taking Crime to the Next Level (True Crime)

by Ray Black

  LOCKED UP FOR LIFE

  Around nine o’clock, Kinkel arrived at the police station and was placed in an interview room. As Officer Al Warthen entered to begin questioning, the boy lunged at him with a hunting knife he had taped to his leg. Screaming for the policeman to shoot him, Kinkel received only a defensive shot of pepper spray to the face. Suitably subduing the prisoner, police then found two bullets taped to his bare chest; it appeared the final act to his terrible plan was to have been suicide.

  When detectives discovered the shooting spree had not been his first murderous move, Lane County sheriffs visited the Kinkel home. In addition to the two covered corpses, they discovered ammunition strewn about the living room floor and five home-made bombs about the house, the fifth hidden beneath his mother’s dead body.

  Admitting to ending the lives of his parents to spare them the shame of his imminent expulsion, Kip Kinkel was ultimately charged with four counts of aggravated murder and twenty-six counts of attempted murder. Pleading guilty at his trial in the autumn of 1999, Judge Jack Mattison sentenced the defendant to 111 years in prison without the possibility of parole.

  Nearly eight years later, Kinkel appealed for a retrial, citing ineffective counsel. He insisted his previous lawyers should have advised him to plead insane, however in August 2007 a Marion County judge denied him another day in court. A further appeal was rejected in January 2011 and, as of writing, Kip Kinkel remains locked up for life in Oregon State Correctional Institution.
