Josephine Santiago, 20, has been charged with murdering her father, Jose Acevedo, 41, whom she claims she stabbed in self-defense after he punched her. Santiago asserted that her father, when intoxicated, becomes aggressive and belligerent. Following the incident, Acevedo succumbed to his injuries at Brookdale University Hospital. Santiago is currently held without bail facing murder and weapon charges, with her defense attorney suggesting self-defense may be a viable argument. The case is scheduled for court on March 10.
The daughter, Josephine Santiago, claims she acted in self-defense after her father punched her, stating he becomes belligerent when drunk.
Santiago's attorney argues there is a 'surface-level, at the very least, self-defense claim here' regarding the incident leading to the father's death.
