被指控在今年6月美国马里兰州安纳波利斯一家报社开枪打死5人的男子拉莫斯星期一对法庭表示不认罪。拉莫斯本人没有出庭。他的律师通过电子文件代表他对受到的指控不认罪。
拉莫斯的律师计划提出的辩解是法庭的拉莫斯身份有问题，因为警方使用了“不可接受的推断身份程序”，意思是警方使用了面部识别技术将拉莫斯被锁定为主要嫌疑人。
拉莫斯目前在押候审，不准保释。他被指控6月28日在安纳波利斯的《首府宪报》打死四名记者和一名职员。
这是美国历史上针对新闻从业人员的最暴力案件之一。拉莫斯看来对《首府宪报》有关他骚扰一名高中同窗的报道不满。
The man accused of shooting and killing five people at an Annapolis, Maryland, newspaper in June pleaded not guilty Monday.Jarrod Ramos did not appear in court. His attorneys entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf through electronic filing.
His lawyers plan to argue that a courtroom identification of Ramos at his trial will be tainted because of what they call “impermissible suggestive identification procedures” by police, meaning the identification of Ramos as the chief suspect was obtained through facial recognition technology.
Ramos is being held in jail without bail, pending his trial.He is charged with killing four journalists and an office worker at the Annapolis Gazette newspaper June 28.
It was one of the worst cases of violence against journalists in U.S. history. Ramos was apparently angry over a Gazette story about his harassing a former high school classmate.
