In 2008, Isaac Zamora killed six people in a shooting spree in Skagit County, Wash., including several neighbors, a driver on the expressway, and a county sheriff’s deputy.
Mr. Zamora pled guilty to four of the murders, and not guilty by reason of insanity to two of the murder counts, after the prosecutor agreed not to seek the death penalty.
The prosecutor later said he agreed to the plea bargain because he was worried that in a trial, a jury might acquit Zamora by reason of insanity, which could allow him to one day go free. Because of his guilty pleas, if he is ever released from the mental hospital, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
