What happened to Austin Harrouff: The former college student pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity for the 2016 slayings of couple.
A former college student who randomly killed a Florida couple in their garage six years ago and then chewed on one victim's face finally goes on trial Monday, with a judge deciding whether he goes to prison for life or to a mental hospital.
Prosecutor Brandon White did not respond to a call and email seeking comment. Harrouff's lead attorney, Robert Watson, declined comment. Two mental health experts, one hired by prosecutors and one by the defense, examined Harrouff and found that he suffered an acute psychotic episode during the attack. They also found that he couldn't distinguish between right and wrong.
"There is decades of research showing that is biased against the insanity defense and it is widely misunderstood," she said.
