Why cattlemen say Trump talk of Argentine beef imports isn’t any solution

By KEN RITTER, Associated Press

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A defense lawyer raised mental health questions Tuesday a few man accused of killing two people and wounding six in a stabbing rampage last week on a Las Vegas Strip sidewalk.

The suspect, Yoni Christian Barrios, stood in shackles during his transient arraignment and spoke only to say he understood he was being charged with two counts of murder and 6 counts of attempted murder. He was not immediately asked to enter a plea.

Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia set a Jan. 12 hearing to find out if Barrios will face trial in state court on charges that would have him confronting a possible death penalty, and ordered him to stay jailed without bail. A grand jury could indict Barrios before that point.

“We’re doing an evaluation regarding competency based on the character of all the pieces we all know to date,” deputy public defender Scott Coffee said outside court after the hearing. “Obviously there are mental health concerns.”

Political Cartoons

Authorities say Barrios, 32, asked sidewalk showgirls to pose with him for a photograph before wielding a big chef’s knife to fatally stab Maris DiGiovanni, 30, and Brent Allan Hallett, 46, on Oct. 6 outside the Wynn Las Vegas resort.

Two other women dressed as showgirls were among the many six people injured within the midday attack, in response to police.

Coffee and Tuesday he and defense attorney Jeff Maningo were investigating their client’s background, but Coffee said they believed Barrios was born in Guatemala and has lived within the U.S. for at the very least several years. It was not immediately clear if Barrios is a documented immigrant.

Prosecutor John Giordani declined to comment on Barrios’ citizenship and mental status. He said surveillance video clearly shows the attack.

Coffee said he was aware that a person who identified himself as Barrios approached a videographer for Los Angeles NBC sister station Telemundo 52 outside Los Angeles City Hall on Oct. 4 and asked for help, saying he had lost his home and all the pieces he had.

The defense attorney said Barrios could have been under enough stress to trigger what Coffee termed a psychotic episode.

A Las Vegas police arrest report said that after arriving in Las Vegas, Barrios sought work on the Wynn and asked a hotel janitor to contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to return him to Guatemala before the alleged sidewalk attack.

Barrios told police he was attempting to sell his chef’s knives so he could return home, and police said he was wearing a chef’s long-sleeved white jacket that was stained with blood when he was arrested after a brief chase.

Officers also retrieved a knife that Barrios was believed to have thrown into bushes as he fled, in response to the authorities.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson has said prosecutors will determine in coming weeks whether to hunt the death penalty within the case.
