I wouldn’t assume motivations to be that craven. Keep in mind this kid is very likely insane and deeply delusional, and the defense attorney isn’t going to have anything available to her other than the same evidence the state has against him.

I don’t think an insanity defense would necessarily be so far off the mark.

There’s not much else. There’s no question of guilt. It’s going to be degree of murder, from pre-meditation, certainly of Giffords, but maybe 2nd or 3rd degree on the others.

The question I have to ask in these cases is, just how clinically insane do you have to be to do something like this? I get it, yet I don’t get it…

The legal difference being between prison/death row v. hospital.

And it’s Arizona.
