Sometimes, he says, people confuse him with God. Because of this illness, Weston, who is accused of killing two police officers in the Capitol last year, finds himself in a strange position. 60 Minutes II Correspondent Scott Pelley reports. Weston's madness exploded into violence last year on July 24. At the Capitol, Officer Jacob Chestnut, a father of five, was standing guard at a metal detector at an entrance.
Witnesses say that Weston pushed a gun into Chestnut's face and fired.
A few steps down the hall, Weston shot detective John Gibson, an 18-year veteran with three children. Gibson managed to fire back, hitting Weston three times and taking him down. Weston was captured soon after. Six months after the Capitol murders, Weston was interviewed by a psychiatrist who wanted to know if Weston understands the charges he faces. Weston explained that he was on a crusade to wipe out cannibalism in America.
