Looks like this Harvard psychopath got away with murder 24 years ago.

Look for a four star manipulative defense in her current crime.

Her brother’s shooting was investigated by the people who brought you the Chappaquidick investigation.

You might check the theories of Sheldon promulgated in the late 1930’s i.e. ectomorphs, endomorphs and mesomorphs.

Oh you can’t shoot your brother down in Massachussetts, that kinda thing just isnt very nice...” take off on song I believe it was the Mitchell trio about Lizzy Borden
Well lets see here.This woman seems to have some anger issues. Guess an insanity plean might work.I heard she was muttering “They are not really dead” as she was led to the squad in cuffs....

[TASMANIANRED]

Looks like that earlier shooting might have just been target practice.

There is a Dean Koontz story in this somewhere.

Wonder if there is a bunch of super intelligent animals some where?

Man, it's even worse than you think:

Ala. Prof Held in 3 Killings Shot Mass. Kin [Shot him 3 times]

Shooting your brother three times is NOT an accident -- and the police reports of the incident have disappeared.

SOMEBODY's got some 'splainin' to do.

[fullchroma]

My goodness. I’d go on a shooting rampage if I had a haircut like hers.

[CaptainK]

The new reports are saying she shot him 3 times and ran out of the house, pointiing the gun at a motorist in an attempted carjacking. Being in Massachusetts at the time they let go. I wonder if she was in Harvard at this time?

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe she will claim “post traumatic stress disorder” because of the earlier killing.

[MagnoliaMS]

Ping!

[OrangeHoof]

Oooh, that’s good. Can I use it?

But, of course!

[Bryan24]

Jaw-dropping report out of Boston that our local news in Huntsville just reported....

Bishop fired several rounds in the event where her brother was killed.

She ran from the home and pointed the shotgun at a passing motorist..

Police eventually arrested her..

She was released into the custody of her parents.

THe event was ruled an accident!!!!!!.

The original report is GONE.

[Slings and Arrows]

“she went to Harvard. Clearly she is enlightened and would not kill anyone without just reasons!”
Hmmmm...the “0” went to Harvard...

And the Unabomber. Makes for an interesting class reunion.

[2111USMC]

Hmm... Didn’t take her husband’s last name.

Exactly. Does Alabama still follow the M'Naughton rule? If so, her presumed insanity plea is going nowhere.

Don't know but they do have a 'death penalty'. How does one count the lives this woman has stolen. . .more than three/four. . .a brother; a sister; a Mother; a wife or husband; how many friends; and of course, a future; a lifetime, shared with all.

(How can people face themselves, knowing the harm done by their Will. Why cannot they understand the moral depths this reaches. . .and so realize they just must not commit such heinous, painful acts against another. If only. . .)
