Man Faces Life Sentence in Michigan Stabbing Spree Jun 25th 2012, 11:21 A man convicted of murder in the first trial from a 2010 stabbing spree in Michigan returns to court for a mandatory life sentence. There is no parole for first-degree murder. Short of a successful appeal, Elias Abuelazam (EE'-lee-us ah-BOOL'-ah-zahm) will be locked up until he dies. The 35-year-old Israeli native was convicted last month of fatally stabbing Arnold Minor near downtown Flint. He is scheduled for sentencing Monday. Abuelazam's lawyers tried to convince jurors that he was a paranoid schizophrenic controlled by demons during the stabbing spree. But the jury agreed with experts who interviewed Abuelazam and had a different opinion about his mental health. Abuelazam is charged with two more murders and seven attempted murders, including one in Toledo, Ohio.
