Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez is awaiting trial in the 2011 shooting, which didn't injure anyone but left more than five bullet marks on the executive mansion. Prosecutors filed a 14-page court document Tuesday that adds more detail about Mr. Ortega-Hernandez, who is accused of shooting at the White House the night of Nov. 11 while the president and first lady were away. Mr. Ortega-Hernandez, 22, has pleaded not guilty to the attempted assassination charge and to other charges. In the document, prosecutors said Mr. Ortega-Hernandez "expressed anger towards the government regarding the continued criminalization of marijuana," which they said he acknowledged smoking and claimed makes people more intelligent. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
