Amy Bishop, 47, pleaded guilty to one count of capital murder involving two or more people and three counts of attempted murder. She had earlier pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity

She's also been charged in killing her brother back in 1986! Folks keep asking how we can change laws to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, how about having the police do their job right?

After Bishop was indicted, prosecutors said Braintree police in 1986 failed to share important evidence, including the fact that Bishop, after she shot her brother in the chest, tried to commandeer a getaway car at gunpoint at a local car dealership, then refused to drop her gun until police officers ordered her to do so repeatedly. Those events were described in Braintree police reports but not in a report written by a state police detective assigned to the district attorney’s office.

There's nothing grey, subtle, or difficult here: the police just had to share their damn evidence with the right people. Ah, but asking that the police do their job is just too fucking straightforward. Can't have that. Gotta fix incompetence by having citizens jump through legislative hoops.

She is not, was not, and has never been part of the staff of the University of Alabama. She taught at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, an entirely different school.
