Daneen Milam, a defense expert who said Ngai was insane, said the number of wounds on Martin's head, which left a deep hole in her skull, showed he was focused on something other than just killing Martin.
"He said he was getting a computer chip out," Milam testified. "He said that's what he was going to do. When he couldn't do it, he called the police to help him."

As we enter a new era of "spimes" and omniscient RFID surveillance, we invite a host of new psychopathologies.
In plain English: I'm afraid we're going to be seeing more of this sort of thing.

I live and work in the exact area that this kid did this....
That month I remember I was feeling a bit crazy as well. I mean this literally happened down the street. I might have actually talked to this kid before he did the crime. I used to talk about implantable micro-chips with the customers everyday at my place of employment around the time this happened. I did this so much that I almost got fired for it. I am dating my boss so I would imagine that any where else would have fired me in a heartbeat. When I heard about this, I got frightened.
I fear there my have been a project going on.
I am not diagnosed with any mental illness, but around the time that the kid killed the professor, I was feeling very strange and paranoid. The craziest I have ever felt in my life.
