Maryland jury finds gunman in Capital Gazette shooting criminally responsible and rejects his mental illness argument


(CNN) A jury in Maryland on Thursday found that the man who killed five employees of the Capital Gazette newspaper is criminally responsible for the attack, rejecting his plea of insanity. Jarrod Ramos walked into the Capital Gazette offices in June 2018 and opened fire, killing five staffers. The trial began in late June following delays for a variety of reasons, including Covid-19, the Capital Gazette reported . "I fully expect that the state will be able to get at least five life-without-parole sentences in this case," Leitess said. "This the most egregious case that our county has ever seen and probably one of the worst in the state of Maryland."
