Grandmother insane

A woman who stabbed her young granddaughter 62 times with a butcher knife after she received "spiritual messages from the geese flying overhead" has been determined to be criminally insane by the state mental hospital.

The evaluation on Carol Lynn Papas was announced today at a hearing in Arapahoe County District Court. Records in the case, including the mental hospital's evaluation, have been sealed.

Pappas, 53, has a history of mental illness and has been diagnosed as manic-depressive and bipolar. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity on the charges that she killed her granddaughter.

She is accused of stabbing her 21-month-old granddaughter, Madison Pappas, on Oct. 29 at her son's house in Aurora. Pappas had told her son she was receiving the spiritual messages about eight months before authorities say she stabbed the little girl.

According to police, Pappas said she killed her granddaughter minutes after the girl's father left for work. When police and firefighters arrived in response to her 911 call, Pappas unlocked the door with blood on both hands.

A police officer said the girl was found face down on a bed with holes in her shirt. Next to her was a butcher knife about 8 inches long.

A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 14 when the prosecution is expected to call its own expert witnesses.

Jesus christ.... She is probably schizophrenic, too... A lot of times if someone has a sever form of bipolar, it comes with other fun baggage, like schizophrenia which means IF sjhe is that sick:

A. someone should get their ass kicked for not noticing a severe mental illness like that

B. Who the FUCK leaves their baby alone with a bipolar woman? Jesus Christ.... It's your BABY!

I'm going to have to fully agree with this post.
