Prosecutors to seek death penalty for accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop , Madison County District Attorney Rob Broussard said today.

Bishop, 46, is charged with capital murder in the Feb. 12, 2010, shooting rampage at the University of Alabama in Huntsville that left three of her biology faculty colleagues dead. She also faces attempted murder charges for the shootings of three other biology department employees.

The Harvard-trained biologist is accused of killing Dr. Maria Ragland Davis , Dr. Adriel Johnson and department chair Dr. Gopi Podila . She is also charged with attempting to kill Dr. Joseph Leahy, a biology faculty member, staff assistant Stephanie Monticciolo and Dr. Luis Cruz-Vera. Leahy and Monticciolo were severely wounded; Cruz-Vera returned to work shortly after the shootings.

Broussard said he told Circuit Judge Alan Mann and Bishop's attorneys Roy Miller and Barry Abston at a status conference last month that the state would pursue the death penalty for Bishop. 

"When the judge broached the subject of the death penalty on the record and in open court," Broussard said, "we informed him and the defense that the state is in fact seeking the death penalty in this case."

Broussard is prosecuting the case with Assistant District Attorneys Tim Gann and Maggie Golden Wallace. Bishop's attorney said prosecutors did inform the defense about their plans to seek the death penalty.

"To my knowledge, no written motions were filed in this direction," Miller said. "But we were informed, whether it was in (the judge's) chambers or in some sort of proceeding. It comes as no surprise and we are prepared to go in that direction."

There is no clear timeline for Bishop's case going to trial. She was indicted in March and her attorneys have notified the court they intend to use a defense of "not guilty by reason of insanity."

A capital murder trial has two phases if prosecutors seek the death penalty. The first is the trial. If Bishop is convicted, a penalty phase would be held with the same jury.
