Von Mann family who killed in Bridgeport and killed in Bridgeport

The sister-in-law of a Bridgeport man, who was killed and cannibalized by another Bridgeport man, spoke out against the state's decision to enable the man back into society.

Talitha Frazier is the sister -in -law of Angel “Do do” Gonzalez. She described Gonzalez 'murderer as a “threat to society”.

In December 2011, Tyree Smith admitted to having murdered Gonzalez with an ax and eating one of Gonzalez 'and eating a piece of his brain.

Smith was acquitted in 2013 for murder due to madness. He was obliged to serve time in the Whiting Forensic Hospital.

She said she asked five years in a row to ensure that Smith had not been released.

“The secretary asked me 'Ms.

One day in February, Frazier learned that Smith had received a conditional release from the state's psychiatric security inspection committee. She said that she felt disappointed and cheated.

“You don't kill anyone, eat them and now you say 'Hey, I want to be in remission, I want to be normal again.' If this is the case, he should have made prison from Psychiatric so that he can understand what he did, “said Frazier.

Ultimately, she said she was disappointed by a former advocate of a former victim, which Frazier claims that she had not listed her as a gonzalez 'family member, which she could make for a difference in the conditional publication of Smith.

“If there is another family, please make sure that your name is on the computer so that you can be notified, as this would have made a big difference nine months ago.”

In a statement, the Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB) defended its decision to grant Smith the conditional release.

The explanation continued:

The Board of Directors approved the application for conditional approval based on the evidence presented and considered. The legal mandate of the board of directors is to make decisions based on the “predominance of evidence”. The board unanimously found that the burden of proof was made to support Mr. Smith's ability to be safe as part of his release in the community. The board has changed these terms in such a way that it incorporates stricter parameters with his GPS monitoring and prohibits Mr. Smith to enter the city in which the crime occurred and where the victim's family is located. The only changes for Mr. Smith in this change of status (from temporary vacation to conditional Release) are that the direct supervision of the board of directors in relation to reporting increases frequency and that he is no longer a patient of the Whiting Forensic Hospital.

In response to PSRB's explanation, Frazier said that it was open to old wounds.

“As soon as it is finally, okay, it is 10 years, now we can finally continue with our lives, he is locked up, now to find out that he doesn't just open a can of worms.”

PSRB was referred back to the Whiting Forensic Hospital to the Whiting Forensic Hospital at any time when the conditions of his release are violated or its mental status changes.

Frazier said she would get through the trauma with a lot of prayer and monitor Smith's case.

“Since we cannot get him back, you have to follow him for the rest of his life, that will be the next one that I urge,” said Frazier.
