Carpio trial to resume with defense team today

ROVIDENCE – The defense team for Esteban Carpio is expected to start presenting their insanity defense today for the man on trial for killing Detective Sgt. James L. Allen with his own weapon at police headquarters and for stabbing 84-year-old Madeline Gatta.

Prosecutors rested their case on Friday afternoon. The defense is now expected to call psychiatrists; Carpio’s girlfriend, Samein Soul Phil; and one or more of Carpio’s releatives.

After the defense presents its case, the prosecutor can mount a rebuttal.
