GOP lawmakers have slammed the “outrageous” decision to release a Connecticut man from a maximum-security psychiatric hospital after he was found not guilty by reason of insanity of killing a victim with a hatchet and eating their body parts.
Tyree Smith was ordered to be confined to Whiting Forensic Hospital for 60 years in 2013 in connection with the killing of Angel Gonzalez, whose mutilated body was found in a vacant apartment in Bridgeport in January 2012, a month after he was hacked to death. Smith’s cousin had testified that he told her he ate part of Gonzalez’s brain and an eyeball while drinking sake.
