Craig Smith will have an update to this story in our evening newscasts.

His defense is working to make a case for 'guilty except insane'. That would lock him in a psychiatric hospital instead of prison for killing Professor Meixner. Dervish's mother Patricia Grace said Murad Dervish had a difficult birth. He was not born head first. He was blue from oxygen deprivation but later appeared to be fine.Grace said she remembered a day when Dervish was 10 years old: She came home, expected to find the babysitter, but didn’t:

Patricia Grace said her son Dervish was forced into psychiatric treatment twice, once in 1995 and again 2011. She said her son had physically abused her, but did not say more about what happened.
