A Rhode Island murder defendant is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.
Michael Soares of Pawtucket is accused of stabbing Jack Fay, a jogger in Warwick City Park, in 2013.
A psychiatrist testified in a bench trial in Kent County Superior Court Wednesday that Soares was mentally unwell and attacked Fay because he thought he was in danger.
Testimony will continue on Friday.
