US man ripped out friend's heart, tongue A MIXED-MARTIAL artist accused of ripping out his friend's heart and removing his tongue while the two were on hallucinogenic drugs has pleaded guilty to murder and mayhem charges. Jarrod Wyatt agreed to a plea deal, in which he will serve 50 years to life in prison, prosecutors said. His official sentencing is scheduled for October 4. Wyatt pleaded guilty to first-degree murder involving mayhem in the March 21, 2010, death of his sparring partner, 21-year-old Taylor Powell, prosecutors said. "The earliest he'll be able to see a parole board is 2062," District Attorney Jon Alexander said. "We saved Taylor's family the agony from reliving the incident at the trial." Wyatt's attorney, James Fallman, said his 29-year-old client didn't want to testify at trial and he didn't want his family to testify. "We looked for an agreement that would at least give him the opportunity to be paroled someday," Mr Fallman said. "As bad as 50 years to life sounds, it's better than life without the possibility of parole." The agreement was reached Thursday night, four days before Wyatt's trial was to begin in Crescent City, the Eureka Times-Standard reported Friday. When police arrived that day at a home at the mouth of the Klamath River, they found Wyatt naked and covered in blood. He told the officers, "I killed him," and said he had cut out Mr Powell's heart and tongue, according to court documents. The officers found Mr Powell's body on the couch of the Requa home. His chest was cut open, and his heart, tongue and the skin of his face were gone, court records said. His heart was found charred in a wood-burning stove. An autopsy determined the organs had been removed while Mr Powell was still alive, the documents said. Witnesses say the two had ingested hallucinogenic mushrooms before the attack and believed they were involved in a struggle between God and the devil. Wyatt had entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity, prompting psychiatrists to evaluate his mental competence. In May, a judge ruled Wyatt was competent to stand trial. news.com.au I wonder if these were different mushrooms to the standard 'magic mushrooms' you hear about, or that they had a massive amount. I can't even fathom how far out of it must they have been.
Thy drugs are quick. I only tried mushrooms once in Texas. It made me feel sad. Like a Jesus incarnate. I left the party and went straight to bed. Thus skipped the last supper.
looks like he has issues just from his photo here ? most of them have serious ego self control problems http://www.fastdefense.us/rookies-training-mixed-martial-arts/
Shrooms dont give you that kind of trip. Seems like he just lost control of his impulses and then blamed the shrooms.
You might be surprised - if I remember correctly ancient Viking warriors would ingest shrooms before battle to put themselves in a violent frenzy. There's no telling how you'll screw up your mind by putting poison in your system.
i see the zulus also used them [video=youtube;IWuaSww3JnA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWuaSww3JnA[/video] http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/previous_seasons/case_zulu/clues.html
This is absolutely horrible. Unfortunately, terrible things sometimes happen in the world. Here is a picture of Taylor Powell, who was only 21 years old at the time of his death:
If I had a son, he would look like this. Unless his mother was not white, in case he would not look like my son. Also, I have no children right now anyway, so I'll just disregard that.
