Jury rejects defence plea that Ahmad Alissa was insane and hearing voices prior to 2021 shooting.
A gunman who fatally shot 10 people at a grocery store in Colorado in 2021 has been found guilty of murder and could face life in prison.
On Monday, a jury rejected the defence’s argument that 25-year-old Ahmad Alissa should be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
The defence had argued that Alissa was diagnosed with schizophrenia and could not distinguish the meaning of his actions when he opened fire at the King Soopers grocery store in the city of Boulder.
“This tragedy was born out of disease not choice,” defence lawyer Kathryn Herold told the jury during closing arguments.
District Attorney Michael Dougherty, meanwhile, argued that the nature of the attack showed Alissa was intentional in his actions.
