An Orlando, Fla. man is accused of murdering a former co-worker and wounding five others. Rodriguez had been employeed at Reynolds, Smith and Hills, as an entry-level engineer. His marriage had ended, he lost his job to incompetence, he filed bankruptcy, he could not pay his child support, and he had lost his house due to foreclosure. Therefore he decided to go to his former place of employment and open fire on the employees in the building. One man was killed, and five others wounded. Now Rodriguezs' lawyer is trying to blame this murder on mental illness.
In this article is does seem as if Rodriguez had been under more than his share of stress. But now his lawyer is trying to claim him to be mentally ill. Rodriguez was charged with first-degree murder, but he has not went to trial. His lawyer will probally insist that he suffers from some kind of mental illness, and he might even get off from the first-degree murder charge. What a shame! I think that we all handle stress differently. I believe that Rodreguez had some displaced aggression. (Chapter 11, p. 440), and took it out on his co-workers.
