ALSODEFENSE ATTORNEY DEFENDS STATEMENT THAT LEVI ARON WAS PRESSURED TO CONFESS KILLING 8 YEAR OLD LEIBY KLETZKY.
October 25, 2011-New York, NY - The attorneys defending accused
killer Levy Aron say he was
pressured to produce a written
statement to police
confessing to the crime.
Aron allegedly dismembered
Leiby Kletzky, 8, in July.
His attorneys say he is
not guilty by reason of insanity.
"This is a very simple case.
He is either evil or insane.
We intend to prove he is not guilty
by reason of insanity.
It's pretty straightforward,"
said Howard Greenberg.
"We maintain that it was police
over-reaching. He has a simple mind.
There are terms (in the statement)
that he doesn't seem likely (to use,)
said Jennifer McCann.
