Bhasin, according to his attorneys, has bipolar disorder and attacked his family before the attack on Jackson, according to WRC.
Bhasin had checked out of a psychiatric hospital in New Jersey and traveled to Virginia. The defense said the attack was random and Bhasin had no motive, but said that their client believed Jackson was a werewolf. They plan on asking jurors to find Bhasin, who was charged with murder, not guilty by reason of insanity, WRC reported.
Prosecutors say that the marker, which police said was found in the car with Bhasin, is evidence of malice.
