Joseph Czuba, 73, is charged in the fatal stabbing of six-year-old Wadee Alfayoumi and the wounding of Hanan Shaheen on Oct. 14, 2023. Authorities said the family was targeted because of their Islamic faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas that erupted on Oct. 7, 2023 with a Hamas attack on southern Israel.

Opening statements start Tuesday morning in a trial that is expected to last about a week.

Czuba has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and other charges. His defense attorney, George Lenard, declined to comment before the end of the trial.

    Yup. That picture of him pretty much fulfills my mental image of what someone like this would look like.

    RIP Wadee Alfayoumi and Hanan Shaheen.

    It was already evident that he was a worthless sack of shit, seems redundant to call him a landlord as well.

    This guy is almost at the end of his life and decided to take the life of someone at the beginning because of something on the other side of the world

    I’d certainly want an online payment portal if he was my landlord. Yeesh!

    But really, how did he think stabbing a 6yo was gonna help anything?

      Prosecutors allege Czuba became increasing paranoid about the war because of listening to commentary on conservative talk radio.

      That tells you everything you need to know.
