VOICE OF THE MOUNTAINS Ingle sought life sentence in mental institution INSIDE of Rutherford County and EX and Sarah Willis of Gaston County. Davis was beaten so violently that his dentures were krKKpartialry out of his nxiutK Ingle beat Mrs. Davis to death her kitchen but Davis didnt hear because he had hearing difficulty and the television was turned up loud.

Before he was apprehended, Ingle told a friend he committed the murders and enjoyed watching people die in agony. The Davises were found by their 7-year-old grandson. Ingle has a long history of mental illness that he said resulted in a suicide attempt at age five or six. The record of Ingle's appeal to the North Carolina Supreme Court said Ingle was experiencing a psychotic episode during the killings and had trouble telling right from wrong. "Nowhere, however, is there any testimony that defendant was unable to plan his actions or that he lacked the ability to premeditate and deliberate," the court said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH A condemned inmate whose clemency plea was rejected asked the governor to lock him away in a mental institution instead of executing him, according to a videotape released Monday. In a 56-minute videotape sent to Gov. Jim Hunt last week, Phillip Ingle said he has needed psychiatric help all his life. Hunt rejected the clemency plea, saying juries correctly sentenced Ingle to death. Ingle is the first inmate in North Carolina to ask that his appeals be dropped so he can be executed.

The tape was released by the governor's legal adviser Brad Wilson. Wilson said Hunt; who is on a trade mission to Israel, "didn't see just cause to intervene." On the tape, Ingle who refused to meet Monday with attorneys said: "I do not want my death sentences turned over to life sentences in prison. "What we're asking is, if possible, after viewing this US' Interest In executions waning. Pn 21 tape, is to consider having me placed in a mental institute, a lockup ward, where I can probably get the help that I've tried to get all my life and never was able to get," Ingle said. "If you are not able to have me placed in a mental institute for the rest of my life, I dp not want to go back out on the street If you can't put me in a mental institute for the rest of my life, a lockup ward, I ask to be executed Sept 22." Although Ingle dismissed his lawyers, Charlotte attorney Julian Wright is his standby attorney.

He said he hasnt been asked by Ingle to file any appeal Wright said he has one ready in case Ingle changes his mind.
