DENVER, Colorado - Rejecting an insanity defense, a Colorado jury on Monday convicted a man diagnosed with the severe mental disorder schizophrenia of first-degree murder in a 2021 mass shooting at a grocery store in the city of Boulder that killed 10 people including a police officer.Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 25, had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury instead found the Syria-born man, guilty in Boulder District Court on 10 counts of first-degree murder.
"He is methodical and he is brutal," District Attorney Michael Dougherty told jurors in closing arguments.The psychologists and psychiatrists who testified during the trial agreed that Alissa was diagnosed as a schizophrenic who was profoundly mentally ill. But that diagnosis alone does not render a person legally insane."This tragedy was born out of disease not choice," defense attorney Kathryn Herold told the jury.
