Clinically insane killer escapes guards on field trip.

The New York Times reported a legally insane killer escaped at a field trip to a county fair on Thursday in Spokanne, Wash.
According to CNN.com, the fugitive, Phillip Paul remained on the loose on Saturday. He is believed to be traveling in the direction of family in Sunnyside, Wash.
Citizens are urged to call 911 with information.
According to the Times report, many--including the fugitive's brother, and Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire--are questioning why a state hospital would allow a clinically unstable person to attend a public fair. As a consequence, Eastern State Hospital, is undergoing an internal investigation at the demand of the Secretary of Health and Social Services of the state.
CNN has posted a photograph of Paul and reports that the fugitive may have planned his escape. He took most of his clothing with him in a backpack when he left his room for the fair.
The inmates were monitored by staff in a ratio of 33 to 11.
Paul is a paranoid-schizophrenic with symptoms so severe, CNN reported, he has disturbed even professionals in the medical field.
"He's the only paranoid schizophrenic -- I've seen hundreds, maybe thousands of them -- that frightened me," Dr. Frank Hardy, a licensed psychiatrist, said in one of the documents, according to KREM. "The first time I took one look at him -- and I've never done this before or since -- I asked the jailer to remain in the room while I examined him. (CNN).
