Jury Selection Begins in Boulder King Soopers Shooting Trial

The trial will determine if Ahmad Alissa, charged with killing 10, was legally insane at the time of the 2021 attack.

  • Body cam footage of Alissa's arrest will be shown to the jury, despite defense objections.
  • Alissa has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, focusing the trial on his mental state during the shooting.
  • The judge ruled that Alissa's initial statements to police were voluntary and will be admissible.
  • Alissa was previously deemed incompetent to stand trial but has since been restored to competency.
  • The trial is expected to last three weeks, with opening statements anticipated after Labor Day.
