Shooting at Univ of Alabama-Huntsville

[Peter3_1]

Read Dr. Sanity blog on narcissism. Bishop the counterpoint narcissist to the Obama type malignent narcissism.  Both VERY VERY dangerous in different ways.....

I think they're gonna have to get in line. Possession is 9/10ths of the law and Bishop is in AL custody.

I can't imagine releasing her under extradition until the killings in Huntsville have been prosecuted and decided.

Not to mention that any judge worth his salt in an extradition hearing would tell the MA government......."f**k off, you had your chance, and you blew it.......when we get done with her, we'll be happy to ship the remains to you for burial.......you get to pay the freight".

Guess what recently notorious professor is listed on Rate My Professor?

I am in her lab and her class. She is smart, talks about more stuff than just the book. She lets me sit in her office and study. She always dresses nice. She should stop trying to straighten her hair and go natural!

[thundley4]

Dr. Bishop is brilliant. Her research is fascinating. She will surely get the Nobel Prize. She is the best teacher I have ever had.

Three shotgun blasts is no accident to me.

No shit! You'd think after the first one you would know the damn thing is dangerous! What, the guy jumped in front of a loaded shotgun? Gimme a frikkin' break!

Yet another surprising twist in the story of Amy Bishop, the Alabama university professor who allegedly opened fire on campus, killing three of her colleagues.


Bishop is the second cousin of John Irving, a publicist for the author confirmed today.

Prosecutors and judges have immunity for official decisions they make.  Amy's mother was probably an accessory after the fact though.

The 'Accidental shooting' might have a bare chance of being slightly plausible if the gun had been an autoloader, my understanding is that it was a pump though.  Notwithstanding the so-called witness statements, there was an abundance of circumstantial evidence on which to base a prosecution for at least manslaughter at the time.  Not just the three shots, with #2 and #3 requiring an intentional working of the action, but also her willingness to threaten a stranger with a gun in order to make an escape - very hard to explain that as a 'Frightened teen just trying to run away.'

Amy Bishop, charged with opening fire Friday at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, had an unpublished manuscript for a book titled "Amazon Fever," obtained by the Boston Globe, that focuses on a female scientist, Olivia, who struggles with depression and fears losing tenure.

Her book refers to the University of Alabama as the MIT of the South, and one character, James Anderson — also the name of Bishop's husband — is a genetic sequencer at the university, the Globe reported.

Bishop book also slams Harvard, where she once was a student. And it includes a dream sequence in which Olivia sees her herself as a tenured professor surrounded by family.

Is the name of the town Pottersville?

She is the cousin of John Irving the novelist, so no wonder she thought she could turn her hand to fiction.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Seems like she was having a bit of trouble with the ending.  Perhaps she will try to explain her rampage as field research for a rewrite of the novel.

Yeah, reported to be a pump shotgun. That says intentional act, murder 2 in NY. THE QUESTION IS HOW DID IT BECOME AN "ACCIDENT"?

As questions swirl around his role as Norfolk district attorney in the handling of Amy Bishop's shooting case in 1986, US Representative William Delahunt is half a world away, on a fact-finding tour that's finding controversy in the Middle East.

Delahunt, Democrat of Quincy, told an Associated Press reporter in Tel Aviv he has limited memory of the shooting death of Seth Bishop by his sister, Amy, a case that Braintree Police called accidental and that the Norfolk District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute. Delahunt said his first assistant, John Kivlan, was in charge of the case.

Sounds like Rep Delahunt just voted "present"...

[Peter3_1]

Let's hopwe he runs for re election and the voters pitch him out on his ass. No way pumping three rounds thru a pump action shotgeun was an "accident", it was murder plain and simple.

Don't see how it could be anything else! Looks like Momma had some good friends in high places.

Nope--he announced his retirement last week.

Lawyer claims she's insane and doesn't remember doing it. Bullshit.

The fact that her three victims are people of color isn't getting much play in the media.  I can't imagine why not.

She is trying hard for that insanity defence.

"She said, 'Do I still have a job out there?' She asked me that yesterday," Miller said. "She said, 'Do you know if I have a job? I assume they fired me. Did they fire me?'"

[NHSparky]

Her lawyer is a friggin moron.  The only thing he SHOULD be saying is, "No comment."  First it's the "she doesn't remember" bit, now the "she regrets it" shtick.  Okay, asshat, which one is it?

And BTW--The "cuckoo for Cocoa-Puffs" defense works about 5 percent of the time.  Not real good odds for your client avoiding the needle.
