Jury to Consider Killer’s Insanity Plea
From Times Staff Reports
Jurors will be asked next week to decide whether aspiring rapper Antron Singleton was insane, as his lawyer claims, when he cut open a woman, removed her lung and ate it.
Singleton was found guilty Wednesday of killing his roommate, Tynisha Ysais, 21, by the same jury that will hear evidence starting Monday regarding his insanity plea.
Dr. Kaushal Sharma testified during the two-week trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court that Singleton, 26, suffered from a mental impairment caused by habitual use of PCP.
