Harrough was a 19-year-old Florida State University student when the attack happened. Defense expert Dr. Phillip Resnick wrote in 2019 that Harrouff, now 23, believed he was “half-man, half-dog" when he attacked the couple. The state's expert, psychologist Gregory Landrum, evaluated Harrouff for five hours in October and concluded he was insane at the time. “Such an event is highly unusual as people with mental illness are no more likely to commit violent crimes than ordinary members of the public,” Landrum wrote.
