They also need to charge her mother for conspiracy after the fact, and charge anyone else involved in a coverup.
Absolutely! Throw the book at all of them!

Oh, NOW they are going to charge her. Yeah, great idea. What a joke.

HUNTSVILLE, AL - Multiple anonymous sources have confirmed to WHNT NEWS 19 that Amy Bishop attempted suicide in the overnight hours Friday morning. The suicide attempt came less than two days after she was indicted for murder in Massachusetts for the 1986 death of her brother, Seth.
Sources confirm Bishop tried to kill herself at the Huntsville/Madison County Metro Jail. She was rushed to Huntsville Hospital where she was treated and survived the suicide attempt. Sources confirm Bishop was released to the Madison County Sheriff's Office and is now back in jail.
Treated and released so quickly? Sure as hell does not look like a serious suicide attempt to me, more like a cry for attention. JMO.
Bishop is charged with killing biology professors Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel Johnson, and Biology Department chair Gopi Podila during a shooting rampage in a faculty meeting. She also is charged with attempting to kill professors Joseph Leahy and Luis Cruz-Vera, and staff assistant Stephanie Monticciolo.
Bishop is seeking a verdict of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect - an insanity defense - which requires her attorneys to prove she was suffering from a serious mental disease or defect at the time of the shootings and that it prevented her from understanding the nature and wrongfulness of her actions.
Madison County District Attorney Rob Broussard has said he will seek the death penalty for Bishop, a Harvard-educated mother of four.
Bishop, 47, will not be eligible for the death penalty under the terms of the agreement, sources said
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 Sept. 24. Her trial was supposed to start Sept. 24.

Prosecutors were seeking the death penalty against the Harvard-educated Bishop and it was not immediately clear if they would drop the penalty as part of the plea deal. Sentencing will be after arguments are heard at a hearing on Sept. 24.
