Skagit Valley Herald: Zamora death-penalty decision in a month

Posted by John de Leon
Isaac L. Zamora's defense attorneys expect to turn in paperwork on Monday arguing against the death penalty for the man charged with killing six people and wounding four others in a Sept. 2, 2008, shooting spree, according to the Skagit Valley Herald.
Zamora's two attorneys tell The Herald they have spent the past several months compiling the so-called mitigation package for Skagit County Prosecutor Rich Weyrich. The packages usually contain a health history, family history and information on upbringing and good deeds, defense attorney Wes Richards said.
Once the information is submitted, Weyrich will then have until Nov. 16 to decide whether to seek the death penalty.
Zamora is accused of killing five people, including Skagit County sheriff's deputy Anne Jackson, in the town of Alger before stealing a pickup and killing another man on Interstate 5. To read court documents that detail the rampage, click here. A word of warning: The documents contain some graphic information.

 Isaac Zamora, the man accused of killing six people during a shooting rampage earlier this week in Skagit County, told a judge Friday afternoon, "I kill for God. I listen to God.
At the end of his arraignment, Zamora was presented with court documents and was asked to sign them to acknowledge he had been charged.
"I'll sign," Zamora told Gilbert. Then he said, "I kill for God. I listen to God."
It was the first time Zamora has spoken during two court appearances; the first was Wednesday when he was ordered held for the slayings of six people, including Skagit County sheriff's Deputy Anne Jackson.
 filed against Zamora that was made public, however, suggested for the first time that motives such as robbery, rape, burglary, arson and kidnapping may have been part of the crime. It also indicates the slaying of one victim, neighbor Julie Binschus, 48, may have been premeditated.
