flag Randy Santos, 31, stands trial in Manhattan for 2019 Chinatown killings of four homeless men, with mental health and criminal responsibility at issue.

flag Randy Santos, 31, is on trial in Manhattan for the 2019 Chinatown killings of four homeless men, using a metal bar in a violent attack captured on surveillance footage. flag His defense claims he suffered from schizophrenia and heard voices commanding him to kill 40 people to save his life, arguing he lacked understanding of right and wrong. flag Prosecutors dispute this, presenting evidence including DNA on the weapon, bloodstains, and video showing Santos checking for witnesses and later recognizing himself, asserting he knew his actions were wrong. flag Santos has a history of mental health issues and prior arrests, including a similar assault a week earlier. flag The verdict will determine whether he faces life in prison or is committed to a psychiatric facility, under New York’s strict insanity defense standard.
