The trial of Eric Bellucci, the Staten Islander accused of stabbing his parents and fleeing to Israel, likely won't be starting anytime soon. Two doctors have found the Stuyvesant and Williams graduate mentally unfit to stand trail. Prosecutors have until February 7 to decide if they want to confirm those findings or have their own doctors examine the young man, who both law enforcement and family say suffers from schizophrenia. If found unfit he'll be kept in a secure psychiatric facility until he is able to stand trail. Bellucci last made news when he refused to enter court for his arraignment.
