Depraved teen jailed for 50 years

A TEENAGER who wrote about wanting to do “horrible things” has been jailed for 50 years for trying to kill a woman by driving onto a pavement to hit her with his 4X4 vehicle.

Montana Judge Kenneth Neill sentenced Daniel Robbins to 80 years, with 30 years suspended, for attempted murder.

Police in Great Falls said Robbins, 17, told investigators he tried to kill Patty Emanuel, 40, while she was jogging last May 27 because he wanted to have sex with her corpse.

“Mental health is no excuse for this act,” Neill said. “He knew what he was doing.”

Neill noted a class assignment where Robbins, when 15, listed as New Year’s resolutions goals such as tasting human flesh and getting a driver’s licence “so I can do those horrible things people like to read about in the paper.”
