Story summary

Kaitlynn Berman, 23, vomited in shock when Christopher Joseph, who stabbed her 20 times after she asked him to leave her apartment, received a sentence of eight and a half years. The incident occurred in March 2025 in New York City's Bronx borough. Despite the severity of the attack and Berman's permanent nerve damage, which affects her ability to carry out certain tasks due to deep gashes, she is unsatisfied with the length of Joseph’s sentence. According to Bishop Boyde Singletary, one of Berman’s advisors, she also suffers from PTSD and ongoing pain from the injuries sustained during the attack. Police reported that Joseph stole Berman's cellphone and nearly $6,000 in cash before his arrest on charges of attempted murder.
