Capital Gazette shooting suspect pleads not guilty, citing mental disorder at the time of killing spree
The man accused of carrying out a killing spree at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, has pleaded not guilty and says he was suffering a mental disorder at the time of last year's killings, according to court documents.
The plea, filed Monday in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, comes 10 months after the shootings that left five people dead. Jarrod Ramos is accused of killing five employees in the Capital Gazette newsroom in June.
Capital Gazette survivors share their stories 05:47The attack took place a few years after Ramos had unsuccessfully sued the newspaper for defamation. An article in the paper had chronicled Ramos' harassment of a former classmate on social media. Ramos pleaded guilty to a harassment charge in that case, according to court documents. Ramos is being held without bail at the Jennifer Road Detention Center, Anne Arundel County's maximum security facility.
