CASE STUDY: 124: AUTHORITY MURDER
Background
Joseph T. Wesbecker,
a twice-divorced forty-seven-year-old white male, had asked for a transfer from
his job as a pressman. He had complained that the job was too stressful, and as
his emotional problems worsened during February 1989, his employers responded
by placing him on disability leave. Wesbecker felt that his employers at
Standard Gravure Corporation had inflicted a gross injustice on him despite the
fact that his behavior had interfered with his duties and the duties of others
in his workplace. Nearly every day for seven months, he brooded over how he
would repay those in authority who were responsible for his alleged
mistreatment.
