Barron County Judge James C. Babler called Jake Patterson evil and said he was danger to the public.

“You are the embodiment of evil and the public can only be safe if you are incarcerated until you die," he told Patterson.

Judge Babler said Patterson was an extreme danger to the public.

“There is no doubt in my mind that you are one of the most dangerous men to walk on this planet," he said.

The judge, speaking directly to Patterson, said the defendant had stolen the Closses sense of security.

“The actions and ideas you had are not normal. They are shockingly not normal," he said.
