Willie Steelmen escaped from a mental hospital after being judged mentally insane years before any of these events took place.
He ended up killing at least 16 people in team slayer style with Douglas Gretzler as his partner in crime. He was also a life long addict to heroin. Even though he was judged metally ill years before he was still given a seat on death row, in direct conflict with law now and at the time. He died of liver failure in 1987 while still on death row.
