Chapel Hill Killer Registered At and Voted From Mental Hospital Dozens of mentally disabled registered in stepped-up efforts by state [to impose its will on the electorate] “ Recent stepped-up voter registration efforts at state mental hospitals and facilities for the developmentally disabled resulted in the registration of Wendell Justin Williamson, who in 1995 killed two people in Chapel Hill and was judged not guilty by reason of insanity.
