Sanity Hearing for Killer of 7 Delayed
A judge Friday postponed the sanity hearing of a janitor who killed seven people in a shooting rampage at Cal State Fullerton more than 25 years ago.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Frank F. Fasel in Santa Ana set an Oct. 12 hearing to determine whether Edward Allaway, found not guilty because of insanity in 1977, is fit to return to the community.
Deputy Public Defender John Bovee said he sought the two-week delay because he needed more time to prepare.
Bovee wants the judge to approve a plan to reintroduce Allaway gradually into the community.
