I'm obvioulsy not a lawyer but a 'settled insanity' plea based on whatever he may or may not have been using could be valid.Rock! Shock! Pop!

Not sure what the plan will be for his lawyers....best thing will be for him to get help rather than jail time though I reckon

Legally speaking, this guy doesn't have a leg to stand on. Self defense as an affirmative defense can only be used in situations where the person had no chance to flee. To go after someone with a hunting knife shows premeditation. I'm not up on NY General Laws, but he's looking at SEVERAL felony charges here. Plus if he's got prior convictions he's going to be in even deeper shit, as NY is, if I'm remembering correctly, a "three strikes" state.

It will be interesting to see how this one pans out as it appears (from the evidence so far) that it s a pretty open-and-shut-case....
The addition of the "three strikes rule" (that never crossed my mind to be honest) means there is a lot more at stake....
Wonder why they didnt go the "temporary insanity" route.....
