Biology professor in Alabama university shooting rampage pleads guilty

Michael Mercier / AP

Amy Bishop is escorted by sheriff's deputies at the Madison County Courthouse in Hunstville, Ala. on Tuesday.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A former professor accused of killing three people and wounding others at the University of Alabama at Huntsville on Feb. 12, 2010, has pleaded guilty to murder, WAFF reported Tuesday.

Amy Bishop, 47, entered the plea at a Madison County Circuit Court in a deal that was expected to result in a sentence of life in prison and avert the death penalty, the Huntsville Times said. Judge Alan Mann had imposed a gag order on both sides until after the trial’s completion, so it was not immediately clear how the plea agreement came about. 


Bishop's plea confirmed the facts of the case, the Times reported, citing prosecutors. It said the Harvard-trained biology professor stood up during a faculty meeting and began firing with a 9 mm pistol, killing biology Professors Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel Johnson, and Biology Department Chair Gopi Podila, and wounding professors Joseph Leahy and Luis Cruz-Vera and staff assistant Stephanie Monticciolo.

Bishop was captured after attempting to flee, according to the Times. WAFF reported that Bishop will still have a jury trial beginning Sept. 24 as required by Alabama law.

Earlier reports said that Bishop, a mother of four, had recently been denied tenure by the university.

Just because she couldn't get tenured at 'Bama doesn't mean she can't be tenured at Tutwiler.

It was UAH ... not "Bama".

A lethal injection would be better, thus serving two purposes:

1) save money in the long run over the cost of keeping her alive

2) prove there is no sexual discrimination with respect to sentencing. After all, gender discrimination is illegal.

There should be no "Plea bargain" for someone who is without a doubt, caught red handed, guilty as sin. She should get the death sentence to be carried out within a limit of 2 weeks after trial.

Here is another case of our justice system failing completely. I feel sorry for her family, they didn't do this, but she is the one to blame for her own actions and should get the sentence that should be mandatory.

So, lets say I shoot a man dead. I have to die too? But:

1) It was self defense! doesn't that mean anything? He attacked me with an axe!

2) I am delusional. I thought I was killing the devil! Have you no mercy on me?

3) I am only 12 years old! I wasn't mature enough to know the consequences of my actions!

4) I have a seizure disorder. I pulled the trigger because of a seizure I was having. Why else would I shoot the mailman?

5) It was an accident! I sat down, and my gun in the back pocket discharged!

6) Still an accident! The bullet ricocheted, I was aiming the other way!

7) I thought that man was a moose, I was so drunk!

8) I was forced to do a hit for the government, they threatened my family!

9) The guy was really a dick! He deserved it!

Anyway, back to the thread...my question is: who decided to pass a law requiring a jury trial even after the accused has admitted to the crime?? Plea bargain, summary judgement , prison. Bang, boom!! The trial lawyers must have decided they needed the work and sneaked that one by. And you know in Alabama they were all republikans.

                        Obama did not go to Harvard University. He went to Princeton University. He went to Harvard Law School, a vocational school. There IS a difference.

                          She got away with killing her own brother...I blame the parents who arranged to have her get off scot free for murdering her own brother...I guess some siblings were more equal than others. Had she been popped in prison for life or executed back when she was a teenager, three people would have lived...I have zero doubt that 10 years or 20 years from now, some very sympathetic parole board will release her as she will act the part of the reformed prisoner in jail. She knows exactly how to manipulate the system and she is not done killing in this life yet....

                          Unfortunately, I agree with you. However, I'm strickly against the death penalty. We have the ability to keep people in prison for life. Yes, it's an expense but that is the price of having a free society. Consider it like taxes. Better that than having our freedoms restricted. I don't believe our government should be in the business of executing its own citizens.

                              Dave-2478570 and souptonuts, do you all practice hypocrisy much or is it an inate gift for you two elitist, hypocritical, judgmental lunkheads? Beside that, Davey Boy, if you didn't notice this by now, you have an icon of a guy who always threatened to blow up the Earth with an Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator, so I wouldn't exactly call THAT as being pacifistic, let alone against the death penalty now, would you sir? Besides that, Ted DiBiase Sr. (The Million Dollar Dream) had a phrase in his song that said "Everybody has got a price." What is your price that you are willing to pay, sir? Also, the Scriptures say that even the most mildest and meekest person is going to be like the most blood-thirsty savage that has ever roamed the earth in the last days. It's not only a matter of time that it will also happen to you but it's also inevitable that it's going to happen to you, too, sir. Finally, you only speak out against such statements because you've never been in them before in your entire life. This message goes to all psuedo-peace activists (read: pacifists and anti-war protestors) because your lies will never be followed in the truest sense of the word because not only will you act like a bunch of hypocrites and disobey your rules but you'll break somehow and in some way and you'll do the very things that you hate in your lives. Judgment is coming for you blood-thirsty barbarians, too.

                                    I never stated I was a pacifist.

                                    Let me put this to you both in the most simplest terms; it is wrong to kill other people, PERIOD. Nothing gives you the right to take the gift of life. No matter what the crime.

                                    If I were to wish death upon the two of you in a heated argument I can get banned from most forums. If I threaten your life face to face I can be put in jail.
                                    But, it is o.k. to wish death upon someone because they killed someone else? That is vengeance, I don't care if you pray to God, Budah, Krishna, etc. NOTHING give us the right to quench the light of life.

                                    Throw her in prison and let her rot. Most prisons are privately ran and run on very LITTLE tax dollars.

                                    Oh, Truthteller, had you called me "Davy Boy" in a face to face conversation, I would have slapped you like a bitch..(now that might get me banned). I ain't your damned hippie whipping post preacher man. Same goes for you too C. U. Next Tuesday.

                                    Now, I wash my hands of you troglodytes. My box of Russian 47k potentiometers came in today and I have to work on my robot Gort.

                                      You know. You never know unless you are a divine entity and can see the entire story from the other side of the universe. Maybe her brother molested her when she was younger and his murder was the product of his own actions.

                                      Maybe her colleauges were adulterers and whoring dogs who in spiritual darkness were going to punish a faithful mom and devoted wife by denying her tenure. Maybe they treated her like dirt for years.

                                      People thought the world of Sandusky and Paterno, and look who they turned out to be. The devils in disguise. Some murderers are evil. Others snap through years of systematic abuse and the only thing you hear of the story is a picture put on national news with the headline "murderer".

                                        I know one in Florida who did, and it was carried out. She killed a couple of people, then tried to kill her son, and then firebombed the car of a good friend of mine.

                                        The state of Florida fried her a few years ago.

                                        Right, why should these coments be any different, USA killed estimated by most EU countries 1,3 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan, to keep the oil flowing, and just last year did we finally kill the one and only, we needed to kill--but at least it made trillions for the USA war machine.

                                        Oh, and I guess she was actually not from the present or ex military or the police, wow-----the ones who normally give the US gun owners a bad name!

                                        The problem there is with the Death Penalty is not the local state governments. Its the Federal Govt. that pays $20k per Death Row Appeal that is filed on behalf of a Death Row Inmate. There are many on the row who want to die. We just keep on keeping them alive so some lawyer can collect his Appellate fees.

I hate hearing that whiny baby crap as much as the gun ban bullsh@t. Of course this will elad to the usual barage of nut jobs bellyaching how we need to get rid of guns so we can be a safer society, blah blah blah.

                                        Well the problem with the Death Penalty is that its never used correctly. When you find the person beyond a shadow of a doubt guilty of murder. Then and only then they should be put to death with no appeal. Once the $20k fee for appeals is removed then more of these frivolous appeals will go away. Then the Death Penalty can be used and then it will become a deterrent. Look in Saudi Arabia and other nations where penalties are harsh for the crime. It deters them. We have made it a penalty with no teeth.

                                        Maybe we should do like they do in China. Execute the violator once found guilty and then bill their family for the cost to the State for housing and executing them. That may cause people to become more responsible for their offspring. Look at this lady who killed her brother and her she is today. Killed three more people and she was guilty of murder the first time beyond a shadow of a doubt.

                                        Yet because of liberal whiners who wanted to save her back then. Gave her a chance and now look what it got the general public who obey the natural laws of man. She should of been executed the first time. Then bill her family. She obviously was a product of her upbringing in some way. You just don't decide to kill your brother one day.

                                        That is not true that's just going to end up getting some innocent people killed for crimes they didn't do there where some people on death row that with evidence where able to appeal there conviction. You never know when new evidence can come in if they are in prison for life you can reverse it and release them and pay compensation if you kill them then they prove they are innocent later then what?

                                          Dave they did do that one time it was called gladiators. But remember a man named Spartacus led a riot in which he held a city for about 2 days killing anyone he could find until the main force came and killed him (more or less something like that)

                                            Comparing us with Saudi Arabia? I hope not. Look at all the people Saudi has executed, they are all poor and uneducated without any means. When a wealthy guy commits a crime, the table is always turned to some poor sucker who cannot defend him/herself. It is even legal over there to send a servant to die or serve jail sentence for the boss. The servant's widow gets paid a little hush money and a big threat of retaliation if she makes a big stink about it. I sure hope we have evolved beyond the Arabs.

                                            You are right, Sheryl, Texas will execute them. What a wonderful thing to be proud of. We take a human and tie them to a table and kill them. Makes us a very evolved society. The honest truth is that the death penalty is used for revenge. There is nothing gained from killing someone. It makes us no better than the killers themselves. As humans we should aspire to be better than that. And Sword, if someone in your family goes crazy, perhaps mentally ill, and commits murder, do you really want to pay for housing and executing them? That will teach them not to have crazy relatives. What a great deterrent to murder, we might have to pay your room and board in prison! Sometimes people are just bad, it is not always because of their upbringing. Yes, this woman is sick, she is dangerous, she should never have the chance to hurt anyone again. But if we kill her in the name of justice, we just as guilty of murder as she is.

                                                    --Just so you should know, most of the recent killers (25 years) have been ex or current mill, and 77 % of all those military people are Republicans, even though they have no idea why, with 100 Dollars in their pocket.

                                                    And correct, after visiting 177 US and CDN universities, at least 75 % of people running the science world are liberal (actually have knowledge)--There is no way one can be Republican, if you actually know science--those other ones only have opinions! I have had a couple of Republican scientists, and they are good for one thing only and that is to commandeer others all day, just like here!

You come here and say that from the past 25 years of all killers 77% of them where ex military and also Republican. Then you say Republicans don't know science. Man what planet do you live on. You want to go toe to toe in the science and industry quiz. Man your statement is so beyond belief I don't even know why I am answering you. I have graduated in the top 97% of my class. I have held a 4.0 GPA. Studied all the sciences from all the different theories of how we became. I even keep myself open minded to the fact that we may not be the only intelligent life in this universe. Hmm and I am a Conservative.

Where was the NRA when they needed it. Time to arm every man, woman & child in this country to save us from guns. NRA logic.

                                                              Also, I know for a fact that the reason there are next-to-no burglaries, etc. in my neck o' the woods is that everybody knows everyone else is armed, locked and loaded.

                                                              you do have a point. she could have probably just shot herself if she wasn't fearful of death. i guess according to the article one could speculate that she was upset over not getting tenure and decided to get "revenge" on the university or something like that.

                                                              I don't know tho. I just don't think she would have had fear if she'd known that everyone was packing, she probably would have shot them anyway given the possible history of already shooting her brother.

The rest of the world has been completely blind to this and maybe now we can finally have world peace once the word gets out on the key to prevent further killings. Just think if all the countries in history had gone to war--what was it you said, oh "armed, locked and loaded"-- knowing that their "enemy" was "armed, locked and loaded" as well, then no shots would have been fired and no deaths would have occurred. You're wasting your talents. You should be a captain of industry or at least governor or senator. Why are you just standing on the sidelines and not fulfilling your true destiny of greatness. Your wisdom is beyond our grasp. Please further enlighten us.......
