Son seeks estate of mother he killed

[nhboy]

"Joshua Hoge doesn't need much spending money these days. Behind the locked doors of Western State Hospital, his basic needs — food, clothes and a constant stream of antipsychotic medications to keep his delusions at bay — are paid for by the state.

But Hoge has the chance to one day become a wealthy man.

From inside Western State, where he's spent most of his time since stabbing his mother and brother to death with a butcher knife in 1999, Hoge is fighting to inherit part of his mother's estate."

If he wants to inherit something from his mothers estate, they should lock him in a room and send him his mothers butcher knife...

If they want to use part of the estate to pay for his continuing care in the mental institution I wouldn't have a problem with that. I don't know if that would be possible though as he is in the institution in lieu of prison for killing his mother and therefore he is considered the ward of the state. They are trying to use a portion for one of his brothers who is also mentally ill to have care as well (thankfully his brother hasn't killed anyone).
