Leodoro trial moved to June so lawyers can prepare:
The trial for Vincent Leodoro, the gunman in the Roseburg High School shooting in Oregon, has been pushed back until June 27…
Defense attorney Bruce Tower filed a motion recently indicating he intended to prove Leodoro was suffering from a mental disease or defect at the time of the Feb. 23 shooting. Senior Deputy District Attorney Rick Wesenberg told Millikan he would need to schedule Leodoro for an examination at the Oregon State Hospital in Salem as a result of the defense motion, which could not be done before the originally scheduled trial date of April 18.
Ah yes, the old insanity defense. Because it’s worked so many times in the past. That was sarcasm in case you didn’t know.
