Jury rejects insanity defense in fatal police standoff

A jury has rejected the insanity defense of a Wisconsin man convicted of starting a standoff with police that led to the death of one of his hostages at a motorcycle shop.

The Winnebago County jury determined Monday that 48-year-old Brian Flatoff did not suffer from a mental disease or defect during the 2015 standoff at Eagle Nation Cycles in Neenah.

USA Today Network-Wisconsin reports the verdict means Flatoff is responsible for 14 felony convictions for his actions that day. The judge scheduled sentencing for May 16.
