WAUKESHA, Wis.
A 51-year-old Waukesha man has been committed to a secure mental institution for life in the stabbing death of his girlfriend in 2009.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Waukesha County Circuit Judge James R. Kieffer committed Daniel K. Christesen on Wednesday.
The decision came after a week-and-a-half-long trial that concluded with the determination that Christesen couldn't understand what he did was wrong.
Christesen was convicted in July of first-degree intentional homicide in the June 2009 stabbing death of 55-year-old Carol Fisher. At the time, he admitted killing her.
The criminal complaint says that after Fisher's death, Christesen surrendered to police. He admitted he had not taken all of his psychiatric medications that day.
