) - A capital murder defendant on Tuesday accepted a plea bargain, admitting to intentional murder.
Hackett, who has three prior felony convictions, admitted that he shot 89-year-old John Higby in the Dauphin Square Shopping Center parking lot and took his keys. Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood told FOX10 News that the defendant was panhandling at the time. “Now he’s riding around the streets of Boston naked on a bicycle,” he said outside the courtroom. “We think he had schizophrenia way back then, banging his head into walls, trying to get the devil out. And I mean, this Mr. , the deceased, fine gentleman, comes from a great family; no sense to it. But overall, this was the best disposition, I think, going both ways.”
“After speaking with the family and going through all of the evidence, all of the history of the defendant and psychological problems, we had him plead guilty to intentional murder,” he said.
