Aaron Ramsey Sentenced to 50 Years in Mental Institution

Wilton resident Aaron Ramsey, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity for the murder of his 73-year-old father Edward Ramsey in December, was sentenced to 50 years in a state mental institution by a Stamford judge on Wednesday, according to the Stamford Advocate.

Judge Richard Comerford said Wednesday that Ramsey was in an "acute psychotic condition" when he bludgeoned and stabbed his father to death in their home and had a history of mental issues since the age of 19, the Advocate reports.

Since the trial, Ramsey has been staying at the Whiting Forensic Division of Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown where he has been analyzed by the institution's psychiatric review board.

Ramsey's lawyer Howard Ehring told the Advocate that Ramsey didn't show any emotion when the judge announced his decision.
