He also said he views himself as a prisoner of war, not a convicted criminal. In July 2006, Nancy Tyler declared war. She fired the first shots,” he said, referring to Tyler filing for divorce.
The judge had rejected a motion by Shenkman s attorney, Hugh Keefe, to delay sentencing for further psychological evaluation of his client.
Keefe said Shenkman s remarks show his client is mentally ill. He had said Shenkman is a danger to himself and others and has gotten worse since his conviction. Keefe said he will appeal the judge s decision.
Shenkman was convicted in October of 10 charges, including kidnapping, arson, assault and threatening. He faced a potential of nearly 80 years in prison.
