Judge sends Alabama prof shooting case to grand jury

[Updated 10:40 a.m.] District Judge Ruth Ann Hall found there is probable cause that Amy Bishop committed the crimes she is accused of and has bound the case over for grand jury.

Madison County District Attorney Rob Brousseau said the investigation is still ongoing and estimated that his office will be able to present the case to a grand jury in six months.

Bishop, 44, is accused of gunning down colleagues at a faculty meeting on February 12. The former biology professor is charged with murder and three counts of attempted murder in the shootings at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

[Updated 10:36 a.m.] In an interview with police shortly after she was apprehended on University of Alabama in Huntsville campus, Amy Bishop denied she was present for the meeting in which 6 other faculty members were shot.

"I wasn't there, it wasn't me," she said, HPD Investigator Charlie Gray testified Tuesday.

[Posted at 10:02 a.m.] Professor Amy Bishop who is charged with capital murder has been brought into court in Huntsville, Alabama. She's wearing a red Madison County jail jumpsuit and chains around her wrists and ankles.

Today's hearing will see prosecutors lay out their basis for a capital murder charge against the former University of Alabama professor and a judge will determine whether there's enough evidence for her to stand trial.

"I was not there" is she trying to plead guilty by reason of insanity? it sort of looks like the move on her part. I think she will not get a chance if the facts are presented by those who were there and saw what this woman did. The real issue was the fact that she didn't get charged in her brother's death.
