"An Oklahoma City man who killed and dismembered his mother will not go to prison.Gerald Hume will instead be sent to a mental hospital. He was sentenced Friday in Cleveland County.In November 2012, police closed a 1-mile stretch along South Bryant Avenue. After an 11-hour standoff, they finally made their way into a home on the 11000 block and found the body of Janet Hume, 77.A police report indicated it was a gruesome scene. Gerald Hume admitted to shooting his mother in the chest before cutting up her body and placing part of it in a freezer.Worried family members had called police several times when they couldn't get a hold of Janet Hume. After trying to get into the house four times, police came back with a search warrant which led to the standoff.When Gerald Hume was finally arrested, he was charged with murder and desecration of a corpse.\"In the context of mental health evaluations, he has made some fairly irrational statements,\" Cleveland County Assistant District Attorney Lori Puckett said.While Gerald Hume\u2019s motive is sealed in medical records, the state of his mental health is not a secret.\"It became pretty apparent immediately upon investigation by law enforcement, as well as speaking to the family members, that he was someone who had been suffering from mental illness for an extended period of time, decades,\" Puckett said.The court ruled at the time of the crime that Gerald Hume didn't know the difference between right and wrong. That was based both on the defense expert as well as the state's expert.At Friday\u2019s sentencing, the state argued Gerald Hume is a danger to society. A judge agreed.\"Our request was that he be committed to the Department of Mental Health and that he remain there for an indeterminate amount of time,\" said Puckett.Gerald Hume's mental health will be re-evaluated periodically. If a doctor ever decides that he is fit for release back into society, he will go back to court.A judge would have the final say."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
