Lemrick Nelson, Jr. (born July 31, 1975) is an African-American man who stabbed Hasidic student Yankel Rosenbaum to death during the 1991 Crown Heights riots.
Even though his counsel denied that Nelson stabbed Rosenbaum, his murderer argued that the murder had nothing to do with Rosenbaum's being Jewish.
Nelson was found guilty of breaking Rosenbaum's civil rights in the murder in a third trial and served a 10-year term.
Nelson admitted stabbing Rosenbaum for the first time at his 2003 trial.
Early life
Nelson is the son of immigrants from Trinidad, Lemrick Nelson Sr. (formerly a baker) and his ex-wife, Valerie Evans. Nelson had a difficult childhood, according to evidence gathered by his lawyers in 1995. His mother, who suffered with a mental disorder, had attempted to abortion him before he was born. He and his mother were in a homeless shelter for battered women as an infant. Nelson's earliest memories include a physical altercation between his father and mother. His mother left him when he was 18 months old. Nelson was described as a "newster at risk" in elementary school. He had no motivation, interrupted classes, and did poorly academically.
Nelson was interviewed and tested by psychologists Dr. Naftali Berrill and Dr. Ife Landsmark in November 1994. Both rated his I.Q. Landsmark reported a high average to average in a language-free assessment, while Landsmark reported a high score. Without having any significant psychopathology, the doctors characterized his symptoms as those of a conduct disorder.
