SALEM — A killer on Oregon’s death row said his attorneys did not obtain his consent for a psychological examination by the state that ultimately led the Oregon Supreme Court to block his execution.

In letters to the court cited Friday by the Salem Statesman-Journal, inmate Gary Haugen said his attorneys didn’t advise him of his doctor-patient rights and illegally made his psychological exam public.

Haugen’s execution, originally scheduled for Aug. 16, has been postponed indefinitely.

He has repeatedly stated his desire to be executed for killing another inmate and argued openly with his attorneys during hearings.

“It is laughable to pretend that they are serving my legal interests when they oppose my waiving all appeals.” Haugen wrote to the Supreme Court.

The Oregon Supreme Court found that Marion County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Guimond didn’t do a sufficient job of weighing Haugen’s competency before sentencing him to death.

The court gave Guimond a choice to either defend his decision to have Haugen executed or invalidate the death warrant and hold a competency hearing.

On Wednesday, Guimond vacated the death warrant and indicated he would hold a competency hearing in September or October.

Haugen’s state-appointed attorneys, Andy Simrin and Keith Goody, declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press.

“Nobody had a right to waive my doctor/patient-client rights without my consent,” Haugen wrote. “Mr. Simrin and Mr. Goody’s actions are not only unethical but illegal.”
