Lawsuit could

United Press International
DALLAS — The decision in a
$2 million lawsuit by a former
mental patient who killed his
mother, could alter mental
health treatment in Texas and
perhaps nationwide.
Ronald Love, 24, filed the
malpractice suit against Timber-
lawn Psychiatric Hospital, claim
ing the hospital was negligent in
releasing him after two years of
treatment for schizophrenia.
On April 18, 1979 — six
months after his release from
Timberlawn — Love killed his
mother, Theresa Love, and
wounded his sister and brother-
in-law with blasts from a 20
gauge shotgun in the family’s El
Paso home.
“The plaintiffs have said this
lawsuit could change the way
psychiatry is practiced in this
country,” said Timberlawn
lawyer Russell Schell during fin
al arguments in state court
Friday.
“What do the plaintiffs want
to replace this practice with? Do
they want to go back to elec
troshock therapy? Back to pre
frontal lobotomies?”
Love’s attorneys have argued
during the six-week trial that the
hospital and its staff should have
monitored Love more closely af
ter his release from Timber
lawn. But the defense con
tended Timberlawn followed
accepted practice in Love’s treat
ment.

The defense further asserted
that the Love family failed to
deal with Love properly in the
weeks leading up to the shoot
ings.
“Had Ron Love been proper
ly managed, had the control of
Ron Love been left to someone
other than Ron Love,” said
attorney Robert Wales, “that day
(of the shootings) would never
have happened.”
Love was committed to Rusk
State Hospital after the shoot
ings. Prosecutors have attemp
ted to try him on murder
charges, but he has been found
incompetent to stand trial three
times and is in jail in El Paso
awaiting a fourth competency
hearing.
District judge Sid Fitzwater
issued a 46-page instruction to
the jury, telling the panel to rely
on expert testimony rather than
their own impressions. Delibera
tions are scheduled to begin
today.

Suspect ‘Army of God’ member
United Press International
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A fed
eral magistrate has ordered the
last of three suspects moved to
St. Clair County to face arraign
ment in the abduction of an
abortion clinic owner and his
wife.
Donald B. Anderson, 41,
Pearland, will be transferred
from Sangamon County Jail in
Springfield to St. Clair County
Jail in Belleville Sunday, officials
said.
Magistrate Charles Evans
issued the removal warrant Fri
day after hearing testimony Ty
FBI Agent John Osgood, who
was called to testify after Ander
son refused to identify himself.
Osgood said Anderson’s fing
erprints matched a fingerprint
found at an Illiopolis ammuni
tions bunker where Dr. Hector
Zevallos and his wife, Rosalie
Jean, were held.
FBI agents said Anderson
and two others waged a battle
against abortion as self-styled
members of the Army of God,
which took credit for the Aug.
12 kidnapping of the couple
from their Edwardsville home.
The couple was released un
harmed after eight days.
Zevallos operates the Hope
Clinic for Women in Granite
City and owns the building that
houses another clinic in Shreve
port, La.
Anderson’s estranged wife,
Margaret, and his two children
attended the hearing. The chil
dren ran forward and embraced
Anderson as he was being re
strained by authorities after the
hearing.
Evans earlier this week
ordered another
Wayne A. Moore, 18, ofl
