Insanity defense mulled in fatal stabbing of runner Wendy Martinez | WTOP
The 23-year-old D.C. man indicted in the fatal stabbing of Wendy Martinez last September as she was running in the Logan Circle neighborhood is considering an insanity defense.
In court filings in D.C. Superior Court, the lawyer for Anthony Crawford has requested documents from prosecutors “that would allow us to develop a defense of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity.”
[.....]
The ruling followed a report to the judge from psychologist Teresa Grant, who evaluated Crawford. Grant’s report said Crawford is psychotic but has fully benefited from two medications prescribed to him. The report found there’s no evidence of hallucinations and that Crawford understands what he’s charged with and wants to talk with his lawyer about entering a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.
Crawford is due in Superior Court Thursday morning to be arraigned.
Hmm.... I have in court today, Friday....

Insanity defense mulled in fatal stabbing of runner Wendy Martinez | WTOP

[...]
During a Friday arraignment, after his client entered a not guilty plea, Ohm told D.C. Superior Court Judge Craig Iscoe he needed extra time to review evidence and interview witnesses.
With no objection from prosecutors, Iscoe granted 15 extra days to Crawford’s attorney, who will announce whether he will pursue an insanity defense by June 21.
Assistant U.S. attorney Katie Earnest said she would be turning over surveillance video from the night of the stabbing. Witnesses have described seeing Crawford talking to himself before Martinez was killed.

30 years is disgusting. He's only 23 so he will be out to do it again. I hope the judge denies.
