This is reported by ABC with reference to court documents.
The broadcaster notes that Ramos and his lawyers requested an immediate trial in the presence of the jury.
On June 28, the editorial office of the newspaper Gazeta Gazette published a shooting that killed five people. The shooter was 38-year-old Jerrod Ramos, who had previously filed a lawsuit against the newspaper for libel.
Ramos was charged with 23 counts, including five first-degree murders.
