Sleeping in the Bathtub is based on a true story. Timothy Allen McWilliams shot three people near the campus of West Virginia University in 1980. One victim died. Tim (who was diagnosed as a schizophrenic) was tried twice in 1984. The first trial ended in a hung jury. Tim was convicted in the second trial, but the West Virginia Supreme Court overturned that conviction and entered a judgment of acquittal in 1986. Between 1980-1988, Tim was shuffled back and forth between the Monongalia County Jail and Weston State Hospital. In 1988, he was released to his parents. For the next 30 years, Tim would live in obscurity with his parents in Buckhannon, West Virginia. Earlier this year, Tim slit his father's throat. This is his story.
