FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - The therapist for the chief suspect in the 2001
anthrax attacks has told a judge that as far back as 2000, the late
microbiologist had attempted to poison people. She told the judge she
was "scared to death" of him.
Social worker Jean Duley testified at a hearing in Frederick, Maryland,
on July 24th in a successful bid for a protective order from Bruce
Ivins. The New York Times obtained a recording of the hearing and posted
it on its Web site today.
In her testimony, Duley says Ivins was a "revenge killer" motivated by
perceived slights.
She said she had evidence that several top psychiatrists considered
Ivins "sociopathic" and "homicidal" and that she believed that "to be
very true."
Ivins, who worked at an Army biodefense laboratory at Fort Detrick, took
his own life Tuesday.
