HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- Lawyers for a former Alabama professor
accused of killing three colleagues during a faculty meeting want a
state appeals court to delay her March trial because officials
haven't paid for expert witnesses or testing by a neurologist.
The Huntsville Times (http://bit.ly/xDvepa) reports that Amy
Bishop's court-appointed attorneys say the state comptroller's
office and a new office of indigent defense services have refused a
judge's orders to pay for the defense experts or the testing.
The appeals court on Wednesday ordered the judge and state
officials to respond within 21 days.
A trial date has been scheduled for March 19. Bishop has pleaded
not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of capital murder and
attempted murder in the February 2010 shootings at the University
of Alabama at Huntsville.
