Mother appeals for release of son who threatened to kill her

Judge Olann Kelleher sentenced the man to nine months in prison.

The mother of a young man who produced a knife during a psychotic episode on St. Stephen’s Day — laughing and saying he was going to “kill her”  — appealed for her son to be released from jail.

The 22-year-old’s mother said she was in fear at the time, both for her safety and the safety of her son, but said she was not in fear now.
