OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – A woman charged with shooting her co-worker at a Neenah Walmart says she should be found not guilty by insanity.
A court official says that Justine Boyd pled no contest to attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the shooting of Sharon Goffard on August 14, 2013.
Boyd, however, is pleading not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. A jury trial is due to begin February 24th where her mental state will be considered.
If the jury accepts the plea, she would be committed to a state mental facility. If the jury rejects the plea, Boyd would face sentencing in criminal court.
Police and prosecutors both say Boyd shot Goffard because Boyd was upset that Goffard got an easier position at work.
However, Boyd’s son told Fox 11 there was no motive for the shooting.
