34 Year Sentence For Man Who Went On 2006 Stabbing Spree

Kenny Alexis, who was convicted attempted murder after stabbing four people in a 13-hour period in 2006, was sentenced to 34 years in prison yesterday. Prosecutors had asked for 75 years, but his defense asked the judge to consider Alexis's medical history—Alexis is schizophrenic and had spent time in a mental facility. Alexis first stabbed a tourist from Texas on a downtown C train; then he stabbed a man at the Rockefeller Plaza subway platform. His final two victims were Canadian tourists sitting on a traffic island in Times Square. The judge said it was amazing no one died and that these random attacks "are the scariest types of crimes that we see."
