Mentally ill Colorado supermarket shooter Ahmad Alissa who shot 10 dead is sentenced to life in prison following jury's rejection of insanity plea after family told court he was possessed by evil spirit
A mentally ill gunman who killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket was sentenced Monday to life in prison for murder after his family told the court they thought he was possessed by an 'evil spirit.'
Ahmad Alissa's attempt to avoid prison time by pleading not guilty by reason of insanity was rejected by the jury, as victims' relatives recounted in pained testimony the lives he destroyed in the 2021 attack in the college town of Boulder.
'To the person that's done this, we hope that you suffer for the rest of your life. You are a coward,' said Nikolena Stanisic, whose only sibling, Neven, was killed
