. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/d97lpml . .ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. A woman arrested in the daytime stabbing deaths of two Canadian tourists laughed, frowned, grimaced and repeatedly asked where her lawyer was during a court appearance on Tuesday.
.Antoinette Pelzer is accused of stabbing two Canadian women, ages 80 and 47, on Monday morning as they were walking in an area where most of the city's casinos have their entranceways and parking garages.
. Her aunt says Pelzer has long suffered from mental illness. .Superior Court Judge Michael Donio read from a criminal complaint that said Pelzer, 44, stabbed one of the women and then tried to steal her pocketbook. "When the victim would not relinquish, the suspect stabbed her additional times," he said, reading from the complaint.
.The judge said the woman was stabbed numerous times in different parts of her body with a 12-inch butcher knife, and that the other was stabbed in her lower body, hands and shoulder when she tried to lend assistance.
. snip .Donio had difficulty getting the defendant to focus and respond to his questions. Pelzer laughed out loud when the judge asked her if she had applied for a public defender.
."I done trying to find out where my public defender's at," she said. "Whatever you call it, whatever. I don't know."
.As the judge read parts of the criminal complaint charging her with murder and robbery, Pelzer silently shook her head "no." At other times, she made odd faces, frowned and narrowed her eyes while looking at the judge and the prosecutor.
.Public defender Eric Shenkus said his office had not yet received an application to represent Pelzer, but predicted they would begin representing her shortly.
. Donio set her bail at $1.5 million cash. . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .
