Robert Dear claims no planning went into attack

parenthood shooter is talking about why he chose the colorado springs clinic for his attack. tonight we’re asking what his newest public comments mean for the case against him. as we told you last night, robert dear spoke with k-c- n-c over the phone from jail. krdo newschannel 13’s angelica lombardi is finding out what might now happen with the case. she’s live at the el paso county jail.. where dear remains without bond tonight. james, a lawyer we spoke with says no criminal defense attorney would ever advise their client to speak to the media. and others say this could affect any upcoming compentecy hearing “it was just a spur of the moment, that, okay, they wanted, they wanted to slay, to come for me.” dear claims the f-b-i had been following him for years. “that’s paranoid delusion that would be highly unlikely anyone would be following you for 22 years.” “i felt like they were going to get me, and so i’m going to pick where i want to make my last stand. and i picked planned parenthood because it’s murdering little babies.” “there’s several things that generally tend to pop up in psychotic disorders and one of them you can immediately see in this article is disorganized thinking.” nutter says dear’s conversatio n seemed scattered. 00:24-00:34 “all of this is clearly demonstrating psychosis. now the question will be for whoever eventually evaluates him is, is he malingering or is he telling the truth?” “another big question is, will the comments dear said over the phone be used here at court against him at his next hearing?” 1:02-1:10 “these comments can absolutely be used against him from here on out. anything that he says can be used against him.” dear’s awaiting a mental evaluation to determine if he can stand trial. “his statements are not helping him in the sense of providing him a better defense. but they go to show he’s probably not competent at this time.” “if i’m coherent and i’m sane, why would i want to open pandora’s box?” dear’s next hearing is scheduled for february 24th. in colorado springs angelica lombardi krdo newschannel
