TUCSON, Ariz. — Some emotion seemed to touch the man charged with killing University of Arizona Professor Thomas Meixner . Murad Dervish reacted as the Medical Examiner who autopsied Doctor Meixner described the gunshots that killed the beloved UA Professor and Department Head..
A DPS firearms expert had already testified Dervish had loaded his gun with 9mm +P rounds, a variety with more power than standard nine millimeter ammunition.
Though he was barred from campus, Dervish went to the UA Police Department eight days before the shooting, to ask officers to check the VIN, the vehicle ID number for the van he had just bought. It was the same van he was arrested in after the shooting. Chief Sommerfeld said no one realized a man forbidden on campus was not only on campus, but in the police station. He said rather than pull an officer out of the field, he did the VIN check himself and sent Dervish on his way.Defense attorneys for Murad Dervish have taken every opportunity to suggest he was so insane he did not know he was doing wrong, while prosecutors key in on evidence that suggests Dervish knew exactly what he was doing.
