So viewed, the evidence established that appellant graduated from college in 1986 with a degree in mechanical engineering. Following graduation, he was employed sporadically due to difficulties with employers. Appellant's family began to notice that he was acting erratically in 1988, but he never received significant mental health treatment.

Appellant began a relationship with Tamela Nichols in 1998. The parties resided together in Alexandria and had a child, Levi, who was born in April 1999. Issues arose between appellant and Nichols in March 2000, and Nichols moved out with Levi. A number of contentious custody and visitation hearings in the Alexandria Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court ensued. Ultimately, Nichols was granted sole legal and physical custody and no visitation was awarded to appellant. The custody orders were served on appellant and were signed by various deputies “for Sheriff Dunning.” Following the proceedings, Nichols received threatening letters from appellant.
