JetBlue pilot who disrupted flight declared insane, not guilty Jul 3rd 2012, 22:17 By Jim Forsyth SAN ANTONIO | Tue Jul 3, 2012 5:32pm EDT SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A Texas judge on Tuesday found a JetBlue pilot insane and not guilty of interfering with a flight after his bizarre behavior forced an emergency landing in March. Osbon, 49, had been charged with interference with a flight crew and could have faced up to twenty years in prison. Court documents show U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson in Amarillo, Texas received a report from a psychological examination that concluded, in the words of the court filing, "at the time of the commission of the offense, the defendant appeared to suffer from a severe mental disease or defect that impaired his ability to appreciate the nature, quality, or wrongfulness of his behavior." All parties, including the prosecutors, agreed to the report.
