US Killer In Israeli Prison Shot Dead In Gunbattle

SHARON PRISON, Israel (AP) -- Israeli special forces raided a prison in central Israel Sunday after an inmate stole a gun, shot several guards and barricaded himself inside the compound, killing the notorious prisoner who was serving time for a gruesome murder carried out in the U.S.

Police identified the inmate as Samuel Sheinbein, an American who fled to Israel after murdering and dismembering another man in Maryland in 1997 and whose case sparked a high-profile row between the two allies.

Police special forces rushed to this prison in central Israel after Sheinbein stole a weapon and shot three guards, wounding two of them seriously. He then barricaded himself inside the compound where a standoff ensued, with counter-terrorism units dispatched to the scene. The inmate then opened fire again, wounding three more guards, before the forces shot him dead, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

I remember this case well. Sheinbein's father Sol (an attorney) put the kid on the plane and was himself charged and disbarred for aiding and abetting. He ended up fleeing to Israel as well.
It was all so mindboggling because the kid was 17 at the time, clearly nuts and if convicted in MD would have ended up at Patuxent Institute, been declared rehabilitated and released years ago.
Everyone knew this would have been the outcome. I don't think the father's playing will a full deck himself.

3:41-So is this type of behavior genetic,or was constant exposure to someone who "was'nt playing with a full deck" responsible? OR was it some of both?
