Man Is Found Criminally Insane for 2009 Shooting Death of Wesleyan U. Student

A Connecticut court ruled today that a man who fatally shot a Wesleyan University student at an off-campus bookstore cafe in 2009 was not guilty by reason of insanity, the Associated Press reports. Stephen Morgan, who surrendered to the police a day after shooting Johanna Justin-Jinich and sending the Wesleyan campus into a panic as authorities searched for him, was portrayed as mentally ill during the trial. Mr. Morgan, who had been stalking Ms. Justin-Jinich, kept a journal full of anti-Semitic rantings. He will be committed to Connecticut’s maximum-security psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, the AP reports.
