“Jobs weren’t done”
On June 16, 2010, more than two decades after the shooting, Amy was finally charged with first-degree murder in her brother’s death. Norfolk District Attorney William Keating said in an interview: “I can’t give you any explanations, I can’t give you excuses because there are none. Jobs weren’t done, responsibilities weren’t met and justice wasn’t served.”
The suicide attempt
Two days after the indictment, Amy attempted to take her own life inside her jail cell, but she survived. She was returned to jail after being treated at a hospital. James, Amy’s husband, complained that he wasn’t made aware of the incident. Then in November 2010, Amy Bishop pleaded not guilty by means of an insanity defense.
