Capital Gazette shooting: jury finds man who killed five people criminally responsible

Defense attorneys for Jarrod Ramos argued he was experiencing mental illness when he attacked the Maryland newsroom in 2018

The jury of eight men and four women found that Jarrod Ramos could understand the criminality of his actions and conform his conduct to the requirements of law when he attacked the Capital Gazette newsroom in 2018.

The finding means Ramos, 41, will be sentenced to prison, not a maximum-security mental health facility. Prosecutors are seeking five life sentences without the possibility of parole.
