Just watched on the National Geographic channel, the mid air collision between the DHL 757 and the Russian passenger airplane. I didn't know one of the victim's relatives murdered the ATC controller. Does anybody know the fate of that man?

As far as the veridict, has he been found guilty? The program said he was "mentally unbalanced". Jail or Hospital?
