Convicted serial killer Gary Lee Sampson flown to new facility for psychiatric testing

(MyFoxBoston.com) – Convicted serial killer Gary Lee Sampson was flown to a new facility in North Carolina on July 11.

Sampson was moved to the facility to undergo psychiatric testing. According to court documents, the 54-year-old was flown from an Indiana prison to the federal medical facility in Butner, North Carolina for that testing.

The move came after a judge ruled in June that Sampson may be suffering from mental illness.

He plead guilty and was sentenced to death more than a decade ago for a 2001 murder spree that left two Mass. men and one N.H. man dead. However, the sentence was thrown out because a juror lied about her family’s criminal history.

Sampson's is set to be re-sentenced in February.
