Gary Lee Bullock loses his appeal





Excerpt from unpublished opinion:
The causes of Father Freed’s death were (1) blunt force head and thoracic trauma and (2) asphyxia by neck compression.  We need not again recite the details of the wounds Father Freed suffered to his entire body, including the near severance of his tongue, which were inflicted with no fewer than three weapons:  a pipe, a wooden stake, and a pilsner glass. To kill Father Freed it was not necessary to inflict those injuries or to nearly sever his tongue with a beer glass.  In our view, the trial court could reasonably infer from the extent and pattern of wounds that torture was not merely the means of killing Father Freed, and that torture was not merely incidental to the killing of Father Freed.  Rather, the severance of the tongue and other injuries were inflicted for the separate objective of causing extreme pain.  Substantial evidence supports the trial court’s ruling. 
DISPOSITION
            The judgment is affirmed.
