This is up the street from me. The body has been outside on the sidewalk for hours. Very upsetting. We just moved here and now I don't know if I want to stay. I am hearing it has to do with drugs.

Fifteen months ago, Pine walked into the Southeast Portland home of his friend and neighbor, Jason E. Ojord, who was tormented by bipolar disorder. Pine, who was 24, wanted his buddy to get back on medication. The next thing anyone knew, Ojord was dragging Pine's bloody corpse out of the house in front of the neighbors...

Walker found Ojord, 37, guilty except for insanity in the stabbing murder of Pine...

The judge placed Ojord under the jurisdiction of Oregon's Psychiatric Security Review Board for a term of life and committed him to the Oregon State Hospital. Depending on how his treatment goes, the board might one day allow him to live in a residential facility.
