Al Issa (which is how he himself spells his name, not “Alissa” as the establishment media persists in calling him, apparently so as to obscure his Arabic and Islamic identity), is now accused of “feigning” his mental illness.
That may well be what he is doing. He had, after all, stripped down to his shorts after killing these people. That indicates that he was expecting to be killed by police, and would be ready to meet the virgins in paradise. But once it was clear that he wasn’t going to be killed, he may have begun to feign mental illness in order to avoid prison and be confined to a much more lax mental hospital. “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269)
“Prosecutors to argue that accused King Soopers shooter is competent,” by Lanie Lee Cook, KDVR, April 6, 2023:
BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) — A judge in the King Soopers mass shooting will let prosecutors make their case that the suspected shooter — who’s currently in a state mental health hospital — is “feigning” his condition.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa is charged with 115 counts in the March 2021 shooting that killed 10 people, including a responding police officer.
Prosecutors raised concerns that Alissa’s “lack of participation in the restoration process may be voluntary” and requested to show evidence of whether that’s the case, according to a ruling issued Wednesday by District Judge Ingrid S. Bakke.
Bakke found a “good faith” basis to order a restoration hearing in the case, where prosecutors will give evidence on whether Alissa is competent. It could happen as soon as April 28.
Alissa’s competency has been at stake since September 2021, when defense attorneys first raised the issue. He underwent three competency evaluations, was found incompetent to move forward with the trial and was moved to the Colorado Mental Health Institute of Pueblo, where he remains today.
His attorneys said in February that he has schizophrenia.
Prosecutors say they will give evidence from expert testimony and the hospital’s own reports in their effort to show that Alissa is competent.
While hospitalized, Alissa has undergone four competency re-evaluations, according to the judge’s ruling. The hospital found that he “is likely restorable to competency within the reasonably foreseeable future.”…
