The man accused of killing eight people in the Atlanta massage spa shooting spree pleaded not guilty Tuesday to four counts of murder, for which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Robert Aaron Long, 22, has already pleaded guilty to killing four people at Young’s Asian Massage parlor in Cherokee County on March 16.
He appeared Tuesday before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville in Atlanta for the charges related to four deaths in two other spas, according to ABC News.

In Georgia you cannot be found “not guilty because of insanity.” The only question is whether or not you are competent to stand trial. Two conditions must be met for an competence ruling: (1) you must understand the charges against you; (2) you must be able to assist your lawyer in your defense. If you are found incompetent to stand trial, you are sent to the medical prison in Augusta. You stay there until you are determined to be competent. Otherwise, you stay there indefinitely.
