In Brooklyn Supreme Court, on Friday, December 12, Salvatore Perrone was found mentally unfit for trial.

On Friday, December 12, the trial of alleged serial killer Salvatore Perrone was put on hold indefinitely based on the findings of a psychiatrist that he is a delusional paranoid.

Perrone is a 65-year-old social recluse from Staten Island, who in 2012 was charged with the murders of three Brooklyn shoe keepers. The determination of his official insanity came after two years of erratic and irrational behavior displayed by the defendant as he acted as his own lawyer.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Alan Marrus announced, a mental examination concluded that Perrone’s “ambivalence towards defense assistance, his paranoia regarding court personnel and his rigid, repetitive manner of thinking all point to the presence of a psychiatric disorder.”

The psychologist discovered a “diagnosis of either delusional disorder or a paranoid personality disorder.”

Originally the trial was scheduled for early next year, but now the defendant will be under observation around-the-clock while his condition is assessed further at a state psychiatric facility.

In early 2013, Perrone had been found fit to stand travel, after allegedly informing detectives that he committed the homicides under orders from “the Palestinian section of the CIA.”

He then demanded to proceed pro se, constantly complaining about not getting discovery documents, claimed that he had a series of lawyers visit him all wearing the same clothes, and he handed in a list of witnesses that was mainly composed of several variations of “John Doe.”

Rabbi Uziel Admoni, an activist in the Jewish community, and someone familiar with the case’s proceedings, spoke on behalf of the relatives of Isaac Kadare, the victim of the second shooting, said, “From the beginning, he basically used every reason to get attention, to play the game, to get off the hook.”

In an interview, when asked about the case, Rabbi Admoni to The Jewish Voice, “As I said, already three murders were planned out by him to the details. He claimed every reason possible, he played the game and used every excuse and abused the system; and this is only part of what he did to manipulate the system, and unfortunately so far it worked for him. We do not accept that he is incapable to face the charges after seeing every hearing, how he knew what to say, how to say and when to say it.”

In his recent court appearance, the man dubbed “Son of Sal” by his neighbors was not present.

Perrone, an apparel salesman, is charged with killing Middle Eastern merchants by shooting them with a shotgun, on three separate occasions during a five-month period.

Despite the defendant’s refusal to meet with him, Howard Kuirsh has served as Perrone’s legal advisor, and is now his court appointed lawyer since the psychiatric diagnosis.

Outside the court, the lawyer said, “He’s impossible to talk to. The psychiatrist thinks he’s a lunatic – that’s my technical term.”
