Immediately following the vicious machete attack at a Hanukkah party at a rabbi’s Monsey, New York, home, the suspect’s attorney, Michael Sussman, pointed to his alleged “long history” of “mental illness and hospitalizations,” depression, and psychosis.
Sussman claimed the attacker heard a “voice talking to him about a piece of property that he understood was in that house,” and the requisite “demons” he saw and “not terribly coherent … explanations” he provided prove this, as strategically interpreted by the lawyer.
The perpetrator’s family, in a statement provided by what many families posit in service of exculpatory rhetoric of mental illness, said, "We believe the actions of which he is accused, if committed by him, tragically reflect profound mental illness for which [he] has received episodic treatment before being released."
