WASHINGTON — A Colorado man who used a hammer to break the glass display case holding the U.S. Constitution has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Randall Husar, 37, of Fort Collins, Colo., was acquitted Wednesday of destruction of government property by U.S. District Judge Thomas Flannery after a non-jury trial. Both the prosecution and defense stipulated that Husar attacked the display case at the National Archives on Oct. 10, 1986.
Flannery ordered Husar to return to St. Elizabeths Hospital for a psychiatric examination. A July 9 hearing was scheduled to hear results of the examination.
