FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. - A Fairfax County judge on Thursday granted an insanity plea to the man accused of killing a young man – a CEO of a non-profit – in 2022.

Family members of the victim, Gret Glyer, are frustrated. They blame prosecutors for the outcome of the case.

It's what they said they feared would happen when FOX 5 spoke to them last month.

FULL STORY: Family of CEO killed in Fairfax County concerned about suspect's potential insanity plea

They did not like the direction that the case was going, and now, they’re disappointed with the judge’s final decision.

A judge granted an insanity plea to 36-year-old Joshua Danehower on Thursday – the man accused of murdering DonorSee CEO Gret Glyer in 2022.

The insanity plea agreement essentially recuses him from serving time in prison. He will instead be remanded to a mental institution.

Fairfax County prosecutors say Danehower shot Glyer nearly a dozen times while Glyer and his wife were sleeping in bed.

Last month, the Glyer family told FOX 5 that prosecutors told them about the possible plea deal.
