Radio Newsman's Accused Killer Not Talking for Free Anymore

The sixteen-year-old confessed killer of WABC news reporter George Weber told the press yesterday that they would have to pay up if they wanted to get an interview with him. During a visiting session at the Bellevue psych ward where John Katehis is being held, he shouted at local reporters, "Is this a cash offer? Cash offers only!...Cash offers only!" A classmate of the teenager's, who was also there to see him, told both local tabloids, "John was never the fighting type. I don't think anyone was afraid of him. I wished he would explain to me why. This is not usually him." But the Post spotted the other boy attempt to talk to Katehis, only to have the murder suspect say to him, "I always hated you at school. Stop wasting my visits."

Not putting this animal down is a disservice to the everyone who is not a violent asshat (even the pussies who don't believe in the death penalty).

Deprive this little drama queen of his audience. Solitary confinement for life. Worst thing that could happen to him.

He's not crazy. Just an arrogant little piece of shit. He'll get all the "rough sex" he needs where he's going and he won't be getting $60.00 a pop for it either.

I hope he's not playing crazy to get out of jail.

Hopefully this guy will meet a Dahmer-like end in the joint.

He can leave his fingernails embedded in the forensic ward door clawing his way through that "money interview".

And some people will continue to blame the victim. This imbecile is completely nuts for whatever reason. Put him in a psyche hospital with lots of meds until he's too old to do anything.
