KENT, Ohio AP – Sky Walker watches recordings of “The Price is Right” over and over again on a TV positioned just outside his jail cell, a calming ritual for the autistic teenager, who is prone to erratic behavior swings when his routine is changed.
He also gets his favorite barbecue potato chips, and visitors have been allowed to bring him McDonald’s Happy Meals – an attempt to keep his environment as normal as it can be as he awaits a decision on whether he is competent to stand trial in his mother’s fatal beating.
