The Michigan Uber driver charged with murdering six people during a shooting spree in February plans to use insanity as a defense in his trial, the prosecutor in the case said on Monday.
Jason Dalton, 45, is charged with shooting eight people, killing six of them, over a five-hour period on Feb. 20, between driving customers for the Uber UBER.UL car service in Kalamazoo, Michigan, about 150 miles (240 km) west of Detroit.
He faces 16 charges, including six counts of murder that can bring life in prison.
Prosecutor Jeffrey Getting said on Monday that Dalton's attorney, Eusebio Solis, told prosecutors and a Kalamazoo County judge that he intended to file a motion to use the insanity defense during a Monday pretrial conference.
