2 weeks agoJury Weighs Fate Of Man Accused In Chinatown Killings
A Manhattan jury is now deciding whether Randy Santos, 31, was legally insane when he allegedly bludgeoned four homeless men to death with a metal bar in Chinatown in October 2019, or whether he should be held fully responsible and face the possibility of life in prison. Closing arguments wrapped up Thursday, Feb. 19, in a case that has haunted Lower Manhattan since those predawn sidewalk killings. Santos has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His attorneys say he was living with untreated schizophrenia and hearing voices that ordered him to kill, setting up a high-stakes clash over his mental state on the night of the attacks.
