Teen accused of striking jogger had grisly list of resolutions
Most boys would be thinking about girls, or going to college, or sports. Daniel Robbins apparently had set some different goals for himself.
GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) -- A teenager accused of running down a jogger in hopes of having sex with her corpse drafted a macabre list of "resolutions" a year earlier that included a desire to "taste human flesh" and shoot someone, according to court documents....
The list of New Year's resolutions Robbins assembled as part of a typing class assignment was entered as evidence during a hearing to determine whether the 16-year-old should be tried as an adult for the May 27 jogger attack.
Police say Robbins said in a videotaped interview that he picked the jogger at random and deliberately hit her with his vehicle. Investigators said he told a friend who was with him that he planned to have sex with the body, and repeated those statements to police.
Patty Emanuel, 40, suffered a broken pelvis, vertebrae and ribs and other injuries. She spent a month in the hospital....
The police officer assigned to Russell High School, Daralee Murphy, testified Tuesday that school officials met with Robbins and his parents several times after his teacher alerted them to the boy's "resolutions."
In addition to tasting human flesh and shooting someone on a camping trip, Robbins listed among his goals: "Get a driver's license so I can do those horrible things people like to read about in the paper."
He made the list on January 6, 2002, when he was 15.
Other, even more disturbing items on Robbins' list included "Running for Governor of California", "Becoming an anchorperson for the Fox News Channel", "Getting picked for 'Survivor: Cannibal'", and "Becoming a bodyguard on 'The Jerry Springer Show'".
Boys will be boys, no??
