Description
[156 A.D.2d 461 Page 461] The defendant stands convicted of the fatal stabbing of his estranged wife Rita Enchautegui and of an assault upon Wilfredo
Rivera. The defenses at trial were lack of criminal responsibility by reason of mental disease or defect (Penal Law former
§ 30.05 [1], now § 40.15 [1]) and justification (Penal Law § 35.15). The defendant claimed that the stabbing of Rivera and
the first two stab wounds inflicted upon his wife were in self-defense and that the remaining stab wounds were inflicted upon
his wife while he was in the throes of an epileptic seizure. The defendant's expert witness testified that the defendant was
suffering from an epileptic seizure that reached "full blown proportions" at the time he killed his wife and, therefore, he
was not responsible for his actions. The People's medical expert ruled out the diagnosis of the defendant's expert and diagnosed
that the defendant was suffering from an "isolated explosive disorder" at the time of the subject incident. The People's expert
testified that the defendant had substantial capacity to know and appreciate the nature and consequences of his conduct and
that his conduct was wrong.
