BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A mentally ill man who killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 has been found guilty of murder and faces life in prison.
Jurors reached their verdict Monday in the trial of Ahmad Alissa.
His attorneys did not dispute that Alissa, who has schizophrenia, fatally shot 10 people including a police officer in the college town of Boulder.
But he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, with the defense arguing he couldn’t tell right from wrong at the time of the attack.
Alissa faces a sentence of life in prison.
