What an absolute psychopath, he planned to murder his opponent before he even started to run in 1998

He stalked his opponents farm, shot him in the head and then decapitated him.

A farm hand had seen him earlier driving near the farm, and later after the murder saw a picture of him on the news and identified him as the killer.

He went through 6 lawyers trying to delay the trial.

Was sentenced in 2000, and then died in prison in 2013 after beating on a pregnant counselor.

He was found dead in his cell two hours later, autopsy report listed it as a heart condition.
