Years after Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Mark Costello was stabbed by his son, Christian Costello could be granted a type of supervised release for treatment. Christian was put into a mental health facility after he stabbed his father in 2015, killing Mark. After numerous court proceedings and mental health evaluations, Christian was found not guilty by reason of insanity. “My son Christian has an incurable illness called Schizophrenia," said his mother, Cathy Costello. "He’s had it since he was 19."In 2015, Cathy said she was living a nightmare after her husband was stabbed in a north Oklahoma City restaurant. Their son Christian was with him and was later charged with first-degree murder. “My husband bled to death, suffocated and died in my arms," Cathy said. Cathy has devoted her life to mental health advocacy and crisis intervention. “I love Christian," Cathy said. "I want him to be safe. I want Christian to be protected, but I want Oklahomans to be protected, and I want my family to be protected."This week, the Forensic Review Board met to decide if Christian could get a day pass for outpatient services at a different mental health facility than he is currently being held. "The day pass is to give him an opportunity to go to Grand Lake, get more therapy, and to obtain skills to acclimate into society," Cathy said. The board's job is to decide if people in the Oklahoma Forensic Center can get conditional release or therapy visits. The board deadlocked a decision for Christian. Attorney General Gentner Drummond wrote a letter to the board urging them not to grant a pass for outside treatment from his current facility in Vinita. Cathy said she agreed with Drummond's opinion on her son. "I believe that my life is in danger. He has expressed to my brother who has visited him several times, talked about killing me. I believe if Christian is released, he might follow through on that," Cathy said. “My children do not deserve to lose another parent at the hands of their brother."Now the board will meet again this summer to decide if Christian Costello will get any kind of conditional release. “The DA has requested a violence risk assessment by a forensic psychiatrist, and then they will vote again in July. My family has to wait on pins and needles for three more months," Cathy said. Despite this, Cathy continues to advocate for mental health treatment and crisis intervention in Oklahoma and across the country. “We have 4 million people and only 50 beds for criminally insane. We have to have long-term care. We need to have staffing, and we need to pay people a fair wage for this work," Cathy said.
