Killed his copilot and pinned a teenage girl against a wall after losing power midair and crashing the plane he was flying into a residential home which authorities later concluded happened in part due to his negligent flying

Shot his wife through the passenger seat of a car her close friend was driving shortly after he asked her for his .38 revolver from the center console claiming there was a danger that did not exist and suspiciously tried to get her friend to lie to police about it in a trial in which prosecutors described his life as ""spinning out of control" due to financial troubles that killing her would resolve

Shot an unarmed protester with an AR-15 rifle for merely chasing him and grabbing the barrel of the rifle and then shot two more protesters -- killing one -- who acted presumably as "good guys" to stop him from shooting more people for which he was tried but found not guilty by self-defense due to various factors including presumably appearing as a very sympathetic defendant to the jury

Fatally struck a pedestrian dragging him for some undermined period of time in a way detectives described as "his face was in your windshield", his broken glasses were found in the car, a flashlight the victim was using was later found still on and investigators determined he was browsing news websites on his phone likely just beforehand which is probably why he left the scene and called 911 with the excuse that he thought he hit a deer
