Posted: Tuesday, 03 November 2009 1:04PM Psych Exam Ordered for NY Murder Suspect |
|
A Long Island woman accused of killing her husband will undergo a psychiatric exam to determine whether she is fit to stand trial. Kathleen Prisco, who's 48, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. Prosecutors say she stabbed 54-year-old Ralph Prisco more than a dozen times in their home in Fort Salonga, a wealthy community on Long Island's north shore. She is under a suicide watch at the Suffolk County jail. A district court judge ordered the exam Monday; Prisco is due in court Thursday for a bail hearing. She feared being ``framed'' by her tax attorney husband, according to court papers. Neither prosecutors nor her defense attorney were able to interpret what that meant. |
