A 39 year old Hawaii man accused of murder blames it on being possessed by Shawn Carter.
Jason Russell Jump is accused of allegedly bludgeoning his landlord to death in 2012. Jump has been examined by three psychologists since his arrest but unfortunately they can’t determine whether he is fit for trial. Jump allegedly told authorities they should put Jay Z in prison for the murder of James John, his landlord, and to put other members of the Illuminati who’ve been attacking [Jump] in prison, too. Â
The psychologists were given tape of Jump prior to the murder to examine. In the video Jump complained of stomach pains due to being possessed, talked about the illuminati and referred to himself as “son of man.”

For his part, Wagner testified that Jump was unfit to stand trial, adding that he suffers from persecutory delusional disorder.Â
However, a second psychologist, the state’s designated examiner Dr. Alex Lichton, testified that he was aware of Jump’s claims, but he believes the accused to be fit for trial nonetheless.Â
The third examiner, psychiatrist Dr. Leonard Jacobs, told the court that while he was only able to speak to Jump for 10 minutes, he believes Jump is fit to stand trial, adding that he was uncooperative and left the meeting “of his own volition.”Â
Jacobs also testified that he thought the video simply showed “a man who was high on drugs.”Â
State Prosecutor Shannon Kagawa called one witness to the stand at the hearing: Dr. Edmund Valerio. Valerio, who is not a fitness examiner, is Jump’s attending psychiatrist at the state’s mental hospital.Â
He said he believed Jump is very coherent, telling the court “he knows what he’s doing.”Â
Valerio testified that Jump, who took a fitness exam twice and passed the first time but failed the second time, would act delusional to try to get powerful painkillers, such as morphine.Â
He also said while staying at the hospital, Jump would allegedly negotiate with doctors for a Snickers candy bar in order to carry out any requests.Â
A judge is scheduled to rule on Jump’s fitness for trial on Nov. 24. Kagawa did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.Â
