The Army Doctor Who Opened Fire

An army psychiatrist walked into a crowded processing centre on his own base and began shooting with a handgun fitted with a laser sight. He killed and wounded dozens of people. He had practised at a range and bought special ammunition beforehand. Police shot him and he was left paralysed. At his court-martial he insisted on representing himself and did not contest that he was the shooter. On appeal he argued his choice to go without lawyers was not truly voluntary and that the court was wrongly closed and the panel biased.
