Yvonne Hiller Begins Double-Murder Trial Over 'DEER URINE' Chemicals At Kraft Foods Plant

PHILADELPHIA — A deluded plant worker who thought co-workers were spraying her with toxic chemicals was convicted Monday of two counts of first-degree murder for a 2010 shooting rampage at a Kraft Foods plant in Philadelphia.

A judge questioned why defendant Yvonne Hiller didn't get needed mental health services and how she'd obtained a gun permit.

"Why was it so easy for Ms. Hiller to get a gun?" Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner asked. "How in the world, under Pennsylvania law, could she have been allowed to have a permit to carry?"

Hiller was suspended the evening of Sept. 9, 2010, after making violent, profanity-laced threats against co-workers, but she returned from her car minutes later with a loaded .357 Magnum.

I wonder if she's actually mentally ill?

If she isn't I hope she'll be tried and, if convicted, spend plenty of time in jail.
