How do you excuse one child killing another?  Especially after she then kills 3 co-workers.  Just suck it up and see your murdering offspring for what she is.

Finances threaten delay in Amy Bishop murder trial
March 8, 2012

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Finances are threatening to delay the trial of a university professor charged with killing three colleagues — the second time this year that money issues have gotten in the way of a high-profile Alabama murder case.

Defense lawyers have asked a judge in Huntsville to postpone the trial of Amy Bishop, who is accused of the shooting outburst that also wounded three during a faculty meeting in 2010 at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

The defense says the case, now set for trial March 19, should be pushed back indefinitely because the state is refusing to pay for psychiatric testing that’s vital to Bishop’s planned insanity defense.

The state wants a judge to withdraw a previous order that approved the payments, but courts have yet to rule on any of the requests.

Bishop already has been evaluated by a state expert, but the results have not been made public. Her lawyers want another round of tests conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to bolster their claims that psychiatric problems led to the mass shooting.

Amy Bishop murder trial in Alabama reset for Sept. 10
By Bob Aicardi, Wicked Local Braintree
March 21, 2012

Braintree —

The trial of Braintree native Amy Bishop, a former biology professor charged with killing three University of Alabama at Huntsville colleagues and wounding three others in a shooting spree during a Feb. 12, 2010 faculty meeting, was supposed to start March 19 but has been rescheduled to Sept. 10.

Madison County Circuit Court Judge Alan Mann approved a defense motion to postpone Bishop’s trial after the state appeals court declined to order the Alabama comptroller’s office to pay in advance for expert witnesses, the Huntsville Times reported. Mann had previously ordered the payments three times.

Bishop is in the Madison County Metro Jail in Huntsville without bail. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Taxpayers are funding her defense after she was declared to be indigent.

Woman to be sentenced for murder despite history of mental illness
April 9, 2012

MADISON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) -

A woman will soon be sentenced for the murder of her mother.

A Madison County jury found Kimberly McLaughlin guilty of Shirley Robuck's murder. This verdict came despite McLaughlin's history of mental illness.

Amy Bishop Anderson has also pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.

WAFF Legal Analyst, Mark McDaniel, said trying to convince a jury a client is insane is one of the difficult things an attorney can attempt.
 ::snipping2::
Court records show UAH shooter Amy Bishop-Anderson is undergoing psychological evaluations. Her sanity is sure to be brought up in the courtroom.

The defendant is going to be faced with jurors that have already seen, heard, or read so much about Bishop-Anderson and a lot of them have made decisions already and determined she is or is not crazy.

McDaniel said selecting the jury in that case has the potential to be a very long and drawn out process.

Amy Bishop-Anderson's trial date is scheduled for September 10th.

Alabama Supreme Court rejects request to delay discovery in UAH shooting civil case
By Brian Lawson, The Huntsville Times 
May 11, 2012 

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- The Alabama Supreme Court Friday rejected a request by James Anderson, the husband of accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop, to delay discovery in a civil lawsuit until Bishop's murder trial is complete.

Anderson and his wife are the subject of several lawsuits stemming from the Feb. 12, 2010 shooting on the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus that left three people dead and three others injured.

Bishop is set to go on trial for capital murder and attempted murder Sept. 10 and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Anderson and Bishop were sued by Stephanie Monticciolo and Joseph Leahy and their families. Leahy, a UAH biology professor and Monticciolo, a biology department staff assistant, were seriously injured in the shooting.
Their lawsuit alleges Anderson provided the gun to Bishop that was used in the shooting.

Anderson and Bishop asked that the case be delayed, including civil discovery of potential evidence in the case and depositions. The trial court last year granted the delay of discovery for Bishop, but not Anderson.

They both asked the Alabama Supreme Court to rule on the request, citing his right to avoid self-incrimination on any criminal charges that could arise from the UAH shooting and his rights of marital and spousal privilege that protect communication between couples.

Under Alabama law, "a husband and wife may testify either for or against each other in criminal cases, but shall not be compelled so to do."

Braintree police chief retiring after 32 years on the force
By Jessica Bartlett, Town Correspondent, Globe Staff
May 24, 2012

Braintree Police Chief Paul Frazier has announced that he will retire from the department in August after over 30 years on the force.

According to a release, Frazier was appointed to the Braintree Police Department in 1980, and became chief of police in 1993. He was re-appointed chief by Mayor Joseph Sullivan in 2010.
 ::snipping2::
Currently there is no plan to choose Frazier’s successor, but one will be developed in the coming weeks, Sullivan said.

 ::snipping2::

Frazier made headlines in 2010, when he publicly questioned his department's handling of the Amy Bishop case. Bishop shot and killed her brother, Seth, at their home in Braintree in 1986.

The shooting was ruled accidental by police, but Frazier, in a Feb. 14, 2010, press conference, said the investigation was mishandled and swept under the rug by the department, possibly because Bishop's mother was a town official and told police the shooting was an accident.

It's really disheartening how some self-righteous parents will cover up their son or daughter's crimes even if it was another of their children murdered or as in the case of the Anthony's their own grandchild murdered by their daughter and they never look back.

UAH is nation's most 'crime-rattled' college, according to website
By Lee Roop, The Huntsville Times
Published: Tuesday, June 19, 2012, 2:30 PM     Updated: Tuesday, June 19, 2012, 3:30 PM

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- The 2010 biology department shootings helped put the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) on top of a national website's ranking of "America's 25 Most Crime-Rattled Colleges." The unofficial ranking, based on an  analysis of crime reports, was released today by the website "The Daily Beast."
UAH spokesman Ray Garner called the ranking skewed. "It is no secret that we had a tragic shooting incident on our campus in 2010, and that event heavily skewed this ranking," Garner said in a statement today. "If you look at our overall crime statistics, you will find outside that isolated event that our university offers a safe environment for the thousands of students, faculty and staff that travel around our campus."
 ::snipping2::
According to the website, UAH had the following numbers of crimes during the 2008-2010 period surveyed: 3 homicides, 4 robberies, 10 aggravated assaults, 80 burglaries and 8 car thefts.

UA-Huntsville tops crime list
June 19, 2012

Huntsville, Al (WAAY) - In 2010, UA-Huntsville made national news when biology professor Amy Bishop Anderson allegedly opened fire during a faculty meeting killing three colleagues and wounding three others.
 
That day, students found out about the shootings through the UAlert system.
 
"That was an email system setup to email us whenever there is an emergency on campus," said UAH senior Jared Wasson. He was a freshman at the time and remembers getting text messages about the shooting before he was notified via UAlert.
 
"It was very delayed. I heard from a friend at UAB about the shootings actually first," he remembered.
 
Two years later UAH tops the list of most crime-rattled colleges in America according to the website, The Daily Beast.
 
The website says the list was compiled by comparing crime data from 500 U.S. colleges and universities. According to the website, UAH had 3 homicides, 4 robberies, 10 aggravated assaults, 80 burglaries and 8 car thefts from 2008 to 2010.

But since the deadly shootings, UAH has made major changes to campus security. The U alert system, for example, got a major facelift.
 
Tom Gray, a sophomore, says he gets alerts on a regular basis.
 
"I receive emails and text messages and they tell us when there is everything from a thunderstorm alert or anything like that," said Gray.

University spokesman Ray Garner provided a list of steps the college has taken to ensure student safety. (see list at link)

Alabama Supreme Court denies accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop's request for expert witness fees (Updated with court decision)
By Brian Lawson, The Huntsville Times
Published: Friday, June 29, 2012, 11:45 AM     Updated: Friday, June 29, 2012, 4:00 PM

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- The Alabama Supreme Court has denied a request by attorneys for accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop to order the state to pay for expert witness fees before her scheduled Sept. 10 trial.

The order, issued this morning, follows a similar denial by the Alabama Court of Appeals, but does not directly address the issue of whether the state should pay for the expert witnesses and related diagnostic testing.
Madison County Circuit Judge Alan Mann has ordered the payments to be made on three occasions, but the state comptroller's office has declined, saying Alabama law did not authorize them.

The Supreme Court opinion cites the failure of Bishop's attorneys to include certain documents related to their earlier requests that the trial court hold the State of Alabama in contempt for refusing to make payments.

The Supreme Court denied the motion by saying that Bishop has not proven the trial court has refused to enforce a contempt order.
Bishop, 47, faces capital murder charges for the Feb. 12, 2010 shooting deaths of three biology faculty colleagues at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty for Bishop if she is convicted.

Bishop's attorneys are planning a defense of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. They contend the expert witnesses and related diagnostic testing of Bishop are necessary. They've argued in court papers that some of the expert work to be performed cannot be done without advance payments.
 ::snipping2::
Her trial date was originally set for March 19, but the dispute over the expert payments led to Mann ordering a continuance until September.

Attorneys for accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop subpoena state officials in expert fees battle
By Brian Lawson, The Huntsville Times
Published: Tuesday, July 03, 2012, 5:47 PM     Updated: Thursday, July 05, 2012, 1:52 PM

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Attorneys for accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop are again seeking to subpoena Alabama's finance director and other state officials in an effort to secure expert witness fees before Bishop's Sept. 10 trial.

The subpoena request comes less than a week after the Alabama Supreme Court, on procedural grounds, refused Bishop's request to order that fees be paid.

Bishop, 47, could face the death penalty if convicted of the Feb. 12, 2010, killing of three fellow University of Alabama in Huntsville biology faculty members. She is also charged with three counts of attempted murder.

Madison County Circuit Judge Alan Mann has ordered the state to make payments on three occasions, but the state comptroller's office has declined, saying Alabama law did not authorize them. Bishop's attorneys have asked Mann to hold the state in contempt for nonpayment.

Amy Bishop's lawyers want Supreme Court to order state to cover expert witness costs
July 13, 2012

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Attorneys for accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop are asking the Alabama Supreme Court to order the state to pay expert witnesses that are part of Bishop's insanity defense.
The Friday filing obtained by The Times argues that the state comptroller's office has improperly ignored orders by Madison County Circuit Judge Alan Mann to make payments to an expert psychiatrist and to the University of Alabama in Birmingham for neurological testing.

State Supreme Court again says no early payments for Amy Bishop's defense
July 23, 2012

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- The Alabama Supreme Court has again refused to order state officials to pay now for experts her attorneys say they need to defend accused University of Alabama in Huntsville shooter Dr. Amy Bishop in September.
The court declined Monday to review its earlier refusal to order the payments. Bishop's attorneys wanted to pay experts as they prepare for her Sept. 10 trial, and the trial judge had agreed and ordered the state to pay now. It has refused.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Bishop, 47, who is charged in a campus shooting rampage that killed three fellow biology faculty members at the University of Alabama in Huntsville on Feb. 12, 2010.
Her attorneys want payments to an expert psychiatrist and to the University of Alabama in Birmingham for neurological testing. They are pleading Bishop not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
