Sullivan stabbed 33-year-old LaRae Marara Sullivan and their 4-year-old adopted daughter, Kehaulani, multiple times in the chest in 2003. The woman's distressed father said he was saving comments for Sullivan's sentencing, which was set for Aug. 26. A long-time friend - Marlene Smith - says Sullivan was suffering from a mental illness. Sullivan told 3rd District Judge J. Dennis Frederick he was taking medication for depression and manic behavior. Sullivan told a police officer, ``the Lord had not stopped'' him from stabbing his wife eight times and the young girl 23 times, according to testimony at a preliminary hearing in January. Both victims had defensive wounds on their hands. ====
