A dangerous mind

Assistant Cuyahoga county prosecutor Rick Bell appealed on January 17 to the jury to sentence Halder to death, describing him as a selfish man who plotted the rampage for over two years. However, according to John Laskin (seen in the background in the photograph), one of the attorneys for Halder, his client only wanted to protest when he entered the campus. But, he lost his eyeglasses and panicked, and opened fire blindly, including at the police.
