OREGON CITY -- A Happy Valley teenager who stabbed his mother to death in February was in a "brief psychotic state" after taking hallucinogenic mushrooms, a prosecutor said Monday.
David Seven, 18, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of manslaughter in the death of his mother, Linda Seven, 52. Clackamas County Circuit Judge Steven Maurer sentenced the teen to 15 years in prison.
Seven originally was charged with murder. Deputy District Attorney Chris Owen said the prosecution agreed to the lesser charge based on a report by psychologist Dr. Richard Hulteng, who reviewed the case for the state.
The psychologist based his opinion that Seven was psychotic at the time of the killing on Seven's own statements, the observations of others, the nature of his delusion and the nature of his mother's injuries.
On Feb. 11, police found the body of Linda Seven in the bathtub of her Happy Valley home with a Bible on her hip. Owen said she had been stabbed more than 50 times, including 30 times in the head, with a kitchen knife and scissors.
David Seven wore a black-and-white striped inmate uniform during his court appearance. Chains around his wrists and ankles rattled as he made his way toward his attorney, David Viuhkola.
During the sentencing, Seven, who has a juvenile record that includes previously assaulting his mother, stood and looked straight ahead.
"I hope at some point you are able to come to grips in some fashion with what you have done," Maurer said.
About a dozen people, including David Seven's brother, Daniel Seven, 21, and members of his mother's church sat in the courtroom to offer their support to the teen.
When Daniel Seven stood in the audience to speak, his brother turned to look. Daniel Seven said he still loved his brother.
"It's been hard," Daniel Seven said later. "I miss my mom, but I got my brother back. It's sad that this is what it took."
Nadine Fournier, who attends Spring Mountain Bible Church, also spoke during the sentencing. "I knew your mother, and she prayed many hours for you," Fournier said.
When the judge asked if David Seven wanted to add anything, he responded: "Nothing but regret."
According to police reports, David Seven and two friends had been taking mushrooms when Seven, then 17 and a junior at Clackamas High School, lost control and began running around the house, yelling it was the end of the world.
One boy passed out from the drugs. The other friend became frightened of Seven's behavior and left.
A foreign exchange student who had been living with the Sevens also was home and heard David Seven first arguing and then stabbing his mother, according to police reports and Owen.
Seven, now 18, thought he was God and his mother was the devil, Owen said.
When Seven realized what he had done, he tried to use "holy water" from the bathtub to revive his mother, the prosecutor said. Seven also tried to read passages from the Bible to his mother.
Later, the father of the boy who had passed out came to pick up his son, police reports said. He rang the doorbell, but no one answered. The father climbed through a window to reach the boy. He saw blood on the stairs and called the police.
Police found Linda Seven's body in a fetal position in the bathtub and David Seven hiding in the attic. As they approached him, they heard the teenager repeating the phrases, "I love you," "Please forgive me" and "Don't forget me."

Wow...that's really really sad. I can't even imagine having to live with myself after doing something like that, let alone do that for 15 years in jail. It must have been aweful when he finally came down and back to reality.

So he assaulted his mother in the past. He obviously had a problem with her (or in general) to begin with, but I guess its easier to blame psychedelic mushrooms.

I see nowehre in that report that the police are bla ing the shrooms for what happened.
Oregon was a shroomy place way before Washington. I have newsclippings at my site where in several of them from both Oregon and Washing report that mushrooms do not make people behjave that way.
And that was not used as an excuse for his violent actions as the cause of his emotional problem in the courtroom.

You're right, I guess I just read it differently the first time around. I'm just used to most people automatically pointing fingers at the substances before the person. Glad to see (now that I carefully reread) that this report wasn't doing that.

I read this story when it first came out... definitely chilling.
There was a story about a man in Germany who ate "angles trumpets"... his wife or mom (can't remember) came home and found him with a towel wrapped around his legs and head. Appeartly, during his "trip" he cut out his own tounge and chopped his balls off with a pair of gardening shears.

Insert the name of any other religion, and the remark becomes prejudiced. 
I mean, alot of people think they talk to God. Even the atheist has opinions regarding unfathomable absolutes, but how do you know which one is right?
Do you think it might be un-Christian to stab your mother with scissors?
