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.
