Rick Bombik, the assistant prosecutor in the case, said nothing in Sowell’s background indicates any sort of mental illness. Bombik said, “Quite frankly, he’s a psychopath.”
Sowell has been on suicide watch at the request of his public defender, Kathleen DeMetz, according to CNN. A psychiatric evaluation of Sowell has been ordered.
