My point is that there has been a definite ‘rush to judgement’ in this case. If she was caught more or less red-handed, where exactly is all the evidence against her? The ballistics, forensic, eyewitness evidence, etc? I haven’t seen too much of it. 0nly one of the seven survivors in that room said that Amy Bishop was the shooter. What about the rest? And why, after holding out for two and a half years, would the defendant change her plea to guilty just before trial? Just like Jared Loughner, the Tucson/Giffords gunman. Personally, I am smelling a rat.
Amy Bishop recording casts doubt on former teacher’s claim.

A prosecutor says an audio recording casts doubt on Amy Bishop’s claim that she didn’t recall the 2010 shooting that left three people dead at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Madison County District Attorney Rob Broussard tells The Associated Press that authorities have a recording of a jailhouse phone call in which Bishop indicates she remembered at least one thing immediately after the gunfire.
Broussard says Bishop told her husband during the call that she didn’t see him on campus moments after the slaying, even though he was outside the building where she was arrested.
That recording could have been used as evidence if Bishop used an insanity defense. But Bishop pleaded guilty instead to capital murder and attempted murder.
A judge Monday sentenced Bishop to life without parole.
