Leiby’s Alleged Killer ‘Fit to Stand Trial’

Levi Aron, charged with the kidnapping, murder and dismemberment of eight-year old Leiby Kletzky in Brooklyn July 12, is fit to stand trial, his defense attorneys said. Aron entered a “not guilty” plea at an arraignment hearing in Brooklyn. Standing outside the courthouse, Aron's attorney, 30-year old Jennifer McCann, said the finding that he is fit to stand trial was determined subsequent to a psychiatric evaluation that took place at New York's Bellevue Hospital.
