Woman Stabbed 22 Times Faces Attacker at Sentencing She Says Was Too Light

Kaitlynn Berman said the sentence is too light after surgeries, permanent nerve damage and a plea deal that spared Christopher Joseph a trial.

  • On Wednesday, Christopher Joseph was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for the March 2025 stabbing of Kaitlynn Berman in her Wakefield apartment.
  • After Berman asked Joseph to leave her home, he stabbed her more than 20 times, then stole her cellphone and nearly $6,000 in cash.
  • Berman suffered permanent nerve damage and PTSD from the attack, requiring three surgeries and multiple blood transfusions during her hospital stay.
  • Following the sentencing, a visibly distraught Berman vomited, while advocate Bishop Boyde Singletary called the punishment insufficient, stating Joseph should face "22 years to life."
  • Advocates for Berman plan to appeal the sentence and contact the Bronx District Attorney, while Joseph declined to speak during the proceedings.
