MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – A 68-year-old man is trying again to go free, after killing four men in the 1980s in western and southeast Wisconsin.
A judge in Washington County orders two psychiatrists to check out Alvin Taylor. He’s been at the Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison since the late ’80s, after being found not guilty by reason of mental disease for killings in Eau Claire and Dunn counties.
Taylor had also pleaded no contest to an attempted murder in Washington County, where his latest case is being heard.
Taylor was a nightclub singer who worked throughout Wisconsin, and has been seeking a conditional release from Mendota since 2010.
If it’s approved in Washington County, judges in the other two counties would also have to agree.
