Yep…all I really have to say about this is that it’s a crappy situation. Beyond crappy. To make it even worse, Berhe had been in and out of psychiatric sessions prior to killing Robb. He’d also been pulled over about an hour before the 2005 incident happened but was released because a spelling error had failed to bring a juvenile arrest record to light.

I didn’t know Mike Robb. But odds are, he was a decent man. He coached tennis – he had an impact on a lot of young peoples’ lives and he had a family. And now what happens to his killer? According to King County Superior Court Judge Dean Lum, Berhe “will stay at Western State Hospital for up to life unless he can prove that he is no longer a danger to society.”

Yeah…okay. Who’s making the call on whether he’s no longer a danger to society? Isn’t that the same system that had him in and out of psychiatric help before he turned around and murdered someone?

Tennis coach’s killer ruled insane

After over a year with Brad Gilbert, a coach provided for Murray by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), Murray has decided to relieve Gilbert of his duties. Instead of continuing to accept support from LTA, Murray has announced he will fund his own coaching needs.

“I will now hire a team of experts, each to fulfill a specified role in the development of my tennis and fitness,” said Murray.

Gilbert wasn’t knocked for his efforts with Murray; Murray is just ready to move onwards and upwards with his tennis career and evidently feels hiring a team of specialists is the route to take.

Maybe Murray is counting on his team of specialists to take him into the top 10. Maybe he’s just looking for the right combination. But if you’ve got a few tennis skills and are looking for a job, you know, drop Murray a line – he’s in the market.
