A schizophrenic who admitted involuntary manslaughter and 10 other charges over a series of Ohio highway shootings has been jailed for 27 years.

Charles McCoy, 29, admitted firing the shots over five months in 2003 and 2004 but pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to murder and 23 other counts. His death penalty trial ended in a mistrial.
