Description
The man accused of killing 10 people at a Boulder King Soopers store more than two years ago pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity during a hearing Tuesday morning and was ordered to undergo another mental health evaluation.
Ahmad Alissa is charged with 111 counts, including 10 counts of first-degree murder, for the March 2021 shooting that took place at the King Soopers store on Table Mesa Drive.
Boulder District Judge Ingrid Bakke found that the evidence was sufficient to move the case against the suspect to trial. She set his bond at $100 million, cash bond or surety, and ordered him to be sent back to the state mental hospital for another evaluation, as part of his not guilty by reason of insanity plea.
That evaluation must be completed by Jan. 8, 2024. His trial is tentatively set to begin on Aug. 12, 2024. Jury selection is slated to begin the week prior. If a jury were to find the suspect not guilty by reason of insanity, he would avoid a prison sentence and would be sent to a mental hospital for treatment until such time as he was judged to no longer be a danger to himself or others.
