HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHT

Jarrod W. Ramos, 41, had pleaded guilty in October 2019 to 23 charges, including five counts of first-degree murder, for the shooting at The Capital Gazette newspaper offices on June 28, 2018.

The second phase of the proceedings focused on whether he could be held criminally responsible for his actions or whether, as doctors called by Mr. Ramos's lawyers had argued, he had been driven by mental illness to carry out the shooting.
