A judge has accepted an alleged murderer's plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. John Clayton Corley is accused of killing another man in 2007 when he opened fire on a neighboring house with an AK-47. A judge in Rome sentenced Corley to confinement in a state mental hospital, where he will likely stay for the rest of his life. Corley is also accused of permanently disabling a woman in that shooting. Her daughter testified that Corley doesn't deserve to live because her mother will never again be able to care for herself. The judge said Corley was not getting off easy and would be locked up for a long time.
