Jury deliberates following Brick stabbing trial
The trial of a Brick man charged with stabbing his estranged wife and their son during a domestic dispute ended earlier this week and the jury is currently deliberating. The case was tried before the Honorable Ronald L. Reisner at the Monmouth County Superior Court in Freehold, New Jersey. The trial lasted approximately four weeks and the defendant is facing up to 96.5 years in prison if convicted of the 12 charges against him.
The alleged incident occurred on December 9, 2007. The defendant dropped his two children and another friend off at his estranged wife's home. He returned an hour later and went inside the residence uninvited. He got into a fight with his ex-wife and allegedly struck her on the chin with a hunting knife and cut her multiple times on her arms and hands. During the altercation, the couple's 10-year-old son tried to intervene and was injured as he tried to pull his father off of his mother.
We'll see how the jury decides this case. The deliberations are expected to continue this morning. For additional information, see the Asbury Park Press article.
