Priest killer's leave from mental hospital concerns town's residents

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) -- A man who said werewolves ordered him to fatally stab two priests has been granted unsupervised visits in town and other privileges from the state mental hospital, leaving some neighbors uneasy.
Douglas Comiskey, 29, was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the deaths of the Revs. Thomas Scheets, 65, and Louis Stovik, 77, in a Pueblo church rectory in 1996.
Diagnosed as a paranoid-schizophrenic, Comiskey was sentenced to one year to life in the state mental hospital, also in Pueblo. Since then, he has become a model patient through medication, therapy and frequent tests, said Doug Wilson, his public defender.
