RA Prof Murdered Family, Keeps Job

[Don Dresden]

Dr. James St. James, chair of [regionally accredited] Millikin University’s Department of Behavioral Sciences, joined the school in 1986, some two decades after he confessed to killing his mother, father and older sister with a .22 long-barrel rifle in Texas in 1967. A jury found the then-16-year-old — born James Gordon Wolcott — not guilty by reason of insanity and he was released six years later after being treated for paranoid schizophrenia. Two years later, in an attempt to restart his life, Wolcott changed his name to James David St. James.

If he's a department chair he must have a PhD. Just what kind of third rate, dumbass-factory diploma mill would give an insane, murdering SOB a PhD???? Why, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, of course! Read his official bio bio here here:

Naturally, this story was broken by somebody down in Texas, not Illinois. Too bad there wasn't somebody at UIUC who could have discovered this dangerous loony sooner and warned innocent people, maybe some sort of nosey, meddlesome, pathological, obsessive stalker type who likes to spend his ample free time sifting through other people's personal business.
