Camillo Lorenzo, now 61, was convicted of four charges, including assault with intent to murder, and was sentenced to serve 10 years in prison for stabbing Delphine Garnetto at Pocasset Manor in 2001. The court rejected Lorenzo's argument that Superior Court Judge Francis J. Darigan Jr. should have allowed his lawyer to introduce evidence about Garnetto’s mental health and to cross-examine her about why Lorenzo stabbed her. Lorenzo claimed he acted in self-defense. -- Journal staff writer Edward Fitzpatrick At the time of the attack, Lorenzo and Garnetto were living on the same floor of Pocasset Manor, a high-rise apartment building on Kelly Street in Providence. “After about a year, the liaison ended,” Suttell wrote. “Ms. Garnetto attributed the termination of the relationship to the incompatibility of the couple’s respective medical patches.” -- Journal staff writer Edward Fitzpatrick Posted by Jack Perry |
