-------------YOUNG WHITE RICHARD NIXONS--------------
WHITE MAN gets up to 40-years for FREEWAY SHOOTINGS!
NAAWP CORRECTLY IDENTIFIES a WHITE PIECE of DOG$HYT!~
A white piece of $hyt man who kept a
swath of southeastern Michigan on edge for weeks by shooting at two-dozen
vehicles along a busy highway corridor was sentenced Monday to 18 to 40 years
in prison on a combination of terrorism and weapons convictions.
Raulie Casteel learned his fate in
Livingston County Circuit Court, where a jury in January found him guilty of
terrorism, rejecting his claim that the shootings were the impulsive result of
uncontrolled delusions and paranoia.
Casteel, 44, already is serving a
six-plus-year sentence that stemmed from a related case in neighboring Oakland
County. The judge sentenced him to a minimum of 16 years on the terrorism
charge and two additional years on felony firearms charges. The sentence is
concurrent with the Oakland County case, and he must serve at least 18 years.
Defense lawyer Doug Mullkoff sought
a lighter sentence saying his client was "certainly a troubled
individual" but not a terrorist.
"Is Raulie Casteel actually a
terrorist — is this really what the Legislature had in mind when it passed the
Michigan anti-terrorism act in wake of attacks in 2001?" asked Mullkoff
before the sentencing. "I think they were thinking of Osama bin Laden,
Timothy McVeigh. Did Raulie Casteel fit into that category? I don't think so.
The post-9/11 law passed by Legislature did not contemplate someone who is
mentally ill like Mr. Casteel."
Before handing down his sentence,
Judge David Reader said he had a mentally ill mother who he cared for up until
her death and is "very empathetic and sympathetic" to the condition.
Still, he added, terrorism isn't necessarily contingent upon the mental state
of the perpetrator.
"The daily routines and lives
of tens of thousands were affected before any motivation was revealed," he
said, adding "that's indeed terror in the opinion of this court."
During the Livingston County trial,
Casteel testified that he shot at the other motorists on Interstate 96 and
nearby roads between Lansing and Detroit over a three-day period in October
2012. Testifying in his own defense, Casteel said he was consumed with anxiety
while in traffic, most likely from undiagnosed delusions. He said he believed
drivers were part of a government conspiracy against him.
Casteel said he never thought about
the consequences of the shootings, only that he wanted "to send a message
to back off."
Among the victims who attended the
sentencing was Jennifer Kupiec, who spoke at a news conference afterward.
Kupiec, now 25, said she encountered Casteel on the freeway on Oct. 18,
