Yesterday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the trial began in the case of Kenny Alexis, a homeless man who was arrested in 2006 after stabbing three tourists, one of whom he knifed in the heart while riding the downtown C train. The victim, 24-year-old Christopher McCarthy told the jury, "Your body isn't ready for it. You prick your finger, you cut your hand slicing a bagel—this was 1,000 times worse. Maybe more." Alexis is trying to get off on an insanity defense, claiming he is a paranoid schizophrenic. In opening statements, assistant DA Christopher Ryan said, “Even people who are deeply, deeply mentally ill know the difference between right and wrong. Mr. Alexis is an antisocial, ill-tempered man who’s angry at the world.”

Have Mommy and Daddy hired Kenny a good lawyer? Oh wait, there is no Daddy.
"Mr. Alexis is an antisocial, ill-tempered man who’s angry at the world.”
So are a lot of other people but they don't go around trying to eviscerate others on the subway. I hope he receives a lengthy sentence for his actions.
Forensic psychiatry ward for the rest of his hopefully short, life.
how can a person self diagnose himself as a paranoid schizophrenic? Sounds like he's trying to hard to be crazy.
"Mr. Alexis is an antisocial, ill-tempered man who’s angry at the world.”
