Former mental patient who bought guns declared not guilty by reason of insanity | al.com: "MOBILE, Ala. -- A Fairhope man who admitted to lying about his involuntary commitment to a mental health hospital in order to buy guns last year was legally insane at the time, a federal judge decided today.

The verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity means that David Otto Gluth Jr. will return to federal custody so that government doctors can determine if he poses a threat to himself or others. Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Butler Jr. will convene another hearing, probably within two months, to determine if Gluth should be held a mental hospital or released."
