NEW CITY Grafton Thomas will be confined to a mental health facility after a Rockland judge on Wednesday found him incompetent to stand trial on murder and attempted murder charges stemming from a 2019 Hanukkah machete attack on Hasidic Jews in Ramapo. Judge Kevin Russo's decision mirrors a federal judge's finding that Thomas lacks the capacity to understand the separate federal charges against him and aid in his own defense. Russo's ruling came after unsealing a murder-two indictment charge against Thomas for killing 72-year-old Josef Neumann, as a result of the Forshay Road home invasion on Dec.

2020 and 2021 will likely not be remembered as the most enjoyable years in American history, but if 2022 turns out to also be a dud, at least there will still be lots of fresh reading and viewing material for us to engage with from our childhood bedrooms and underground bunkers.
