STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. A justice on Monday ordered a psychiatric exam to determine the trial fitness of Eric Belucci, the Annadale man whose murder conviction in the 2010 deaths of his parents was overturned late last year.
The test will determine whether Bellucci, 40, understands the charges against him and can aid in his defense.
State Supreme Court Justice Alexander Jeong ordered the exam during a remote conference which Bellucci attended.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. In a remarkable development, a Staten Island justice on Wednesday recused himself from presiding over a retrial of Eric Bellucci, the Annadale man convicted of murdering his parents over 10 years ago.
“I cannot abide another round of hearings to determine the defendant’s (mental) fitness,” Justice William E. Garnett said during a remote conference with prosecutors and the defense. “I have spent enough time and energy on this case in which any rational person would agree that the defendant slaughtered his parents on Oct. 13, 2010.”

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. The mother of an off-duty MTA Bridges and Tunnels police officer shot to death by his stepson last year in Meiers Corners didn’t hold back at defendant Brandon Maharaj’s sentencing on Monday.
“I hope like hell my son is haunting you every night,” Carol Harrington said in a statement, which a prosecutor read on her behalf. “… Roger (Thompson) was 48 years old and was killed three days after his birthday; murdered by his stepson, Brandon Maharaj. Not man enough to fight with his fists, because he knew he would have gotten his a whooped.”
