Probation officer gives office BJ to boot-camp teen
Bruce Ivins, Anthrax Suspect, called "sociopathic"

A restraining order taken out against anthrax letter suspect Bruce E. Ivins shortly before Ivins committed suicide reveals a good deal more about his behavior towards others.
Maryland court records show that Ivins ended up in a Maryland psychiatric in July after he made death threats counselor Jean Duley. Ivins was Duley's long-time client up until early July of this year.
On July 9, according to Duley's petition to the court, Ivins made "threats of homicidal intent." Ivins was committed to a mental hospital, but he signed himself out on the 24th. That was when Duley asked for the restraining order because, in her words, "client has a history dating to his graduate days of homicidal threats, actions, plans, threats & actions towards therapist."
Duley continued, writing that Dr. David Irwin, Ivins's psychiatrist, called the researcher "homicidal" and "sociopathic."
Duley's handwritten testimony on the back of the petition ended by noting that the FBI was "involved" and that Ivins was going to be charged with "5 capital murders."
In the end the petition was rendered moot by Ivins's July 29 suicide.
