School shooting no less. Harvard educated, etc. Where's the press? Had this person ever attended a Tea Party it would have been front page news. This was not her first killing.
Almost forgot. She was obsessed with Barack "Buckwheat" Obama's leadership.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Amy Bishop is expected to enter a guilty plea this afternoon to capital murder charges in Madison County Circuit Court in an agreement that will send to her prison for the rest of her life.
Bishop, 47, will not be eligible for the death penalty under the terms of the agreement, sources said.
Bishop is accused of killing three fellow biology department faculty members in an on-campus shooting rampage on Feb. 12, 2010 and wounding three others.
A Harvard-trained biologist, Bishop has four children
Bishop was denied tenure by the university in 2009 and had exhausted the appeals process before the shooting.
Under Alabama law, a capital murder defendant who pleads guilty still must have a jury hear the evidence against them. If Bishop enters the plea, a condensed version of the case -- the facts would no longer be in dispute -- is expected to be held Feb. 24. Her trial was supposed to start Feb. 24.
Bishop has been held in the Madison County Jail since the shooting. Madison County Circuit Judge Alan Mann is presiding over the case.
The attorneys in the case are under a gag order.
