I, for one, have no particular intention to indulge the fellow.  Scan him for a tumor and check him for schizophrenia.  If deemed sane, try him for murder; if convicted, well, Colorado has a death penalty.  Even if he doesn’t get the needle, well, he’ll have plenty of time to contemplate his sins. Half a century, if his health holds out.

And in five years? Utter obscurity.  To paraphrase Herodotus: I know his name, but I will not repeat it.
