Beloved psychology professor outed as killer who murdered his family as a teen and was locked up for just 6 years after being found INSANE

A beloved 61-year-old psychology professor has been outed as a killer who murdered his family as a teenager and was committed to a mental hospital for only six years after being found insane.

The bespectacled, mustachioed chairman of Millikin University’s department of behavior sciences in Illinois has been identified by a reporter from the Texas newspaper The Georgetown Advocate as James Wolcott, who murdered his parents and older sister in cold blood when he was 15 years old.

Following the gristly murders, Wolcott had been found not guilty by reason of insanity. After spending six years in a psychiatric institution, he disappeared.

Wolcott later legally changed his name and went on to earn several degrees in psychology and start a new life in academia.

St James' outing as a man who committed triple homicide 46 years ago shocked the community of  Millikin University - a Presbyterian school in Decatur with 2,380 students - but his colleagues and students have since come out in support of the professor. 

Despite calls for his resignation, the university released a statement saying that St James will stay on at the school and will teach classes in the fall semester.

Someone who is insane could not have a PhD. Than again, many people in academia are nuts. The crime happened in Texas and now is a professor in Illinois.

Meh, it's a private liberal arts school.  My first concern when I heard about is that one of my ex-high school teachers , teaches there.  I wondered if it was him.

When they're really, really insane, they get a second "D", and they get hired as a professional grant beggar in Minnesota.

If anyone knows about "CRAZY", he should.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Ouch, in America where we all move about a lot, now there is just another thing to worry about.

Makes me wonder about men in their early 40's that never married and no family-----So what have they been doing for the last 30 years ??
