He Killed Him "To See If He Could Get Away With It"
Former Eagle Scout Convicted Of Murder Appeals Sentence
Oshkosh, Wisconsin -- A former Eagle Scout convicted of killing a man to see if he could get away with it has appealed his conviction.
The appeal was made by Gary Hirte, who was sentenced to life in prison last March after a jury rejected his claim that he was mentally ill when he shot and stabbed Glenn Kopitske in August of 2003.
Hirte, who was 17 at the time of the attack, claimed a drunken homosexual encounter with Kopitske sent him into a murderous rage.
Hirte was a track, football and wrestling star and a straight-A student at Weyewauga-Fremont High School.
Winnebago County prosecutors said Hirte killed Kopitske because he wanted to know how it felt to kill someone and to see if he could get away with it.
