Boulder Shooting Suspect's Lawyer Cites 'Mental Illness' in First Court Appearance
[NYTIMES] A lawyer for the man charged with 10 counts of murder after a mass shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, Colo., said in court on Thursday that the suspect has an unspecified mental illness.
"Islam"
During the first court appearance for the suspect, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, prosecutors also vowed to file more charges in the next two weeks and said the police were still processing the vast scene of the crime at the King Soopers grocery store. Mr. Alissa will continue to be held in jail without bond.

Kathryn Herold, a public defender who is among those assigned to represent Mr. Alissa, raised the possibility that he had a mental illness when she asked the judge to postpone the next court date.

"We cannot do anything until we are able to fully assess Mr. Alissa’s mental illness," Ms. Herold said at the hearing.

Judge Thomas Mulvahill said that the parties would next meet in court in the next 60 to 90 days to discuss the case.

#1 I guess radical Islam should be considered a mental illness.

#3 There's a spectrum and he undoubtedly fits on it someplace. The question is how bugsh*t is he really vs. how much is he gaming the justice system?

#4 I bet he does have some serious issues and seeing how his family treats their neighbors I would look at getting them commited too.

But ill or not, he needs 30 days in the electric chair for his acts.

#5 Killer had quite the presence of mind to remove his clothes and signal SWAT he wasn't wearing a boom vest. Not exactly insane

#7 Again, the individual should be adjudge by the crime committed, not some adjectival descriptive of who the perp is. That is equal justice. We really are not concerned about justice anymore.

#8 Catch-22 Situation IMNSHO: If he is sane it's "depraved mass murder" and if he is crazy then "rabid dog treatment"... Everybody agrees he did it so it should be a short trial followed by a shorter execution.
