In 2023, Ceesay randomly stabbed a stranger to death in downtown Seattle. He'd been arrested 28 times before and he is not a U.S. citizen.
Here's KOMO News in Washington:
A King County man charged with stabbing a stranger to death in downtown Seattle in 2023 was found not guilty by reason of insanity last week, and will be sent to a state psychiatric hospital instead of trial, according to court documents.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys jointly asked a judge to accept the insanity plea of Sana Ceesay, 29 [sic], in the killing of Fontaine Jackson, acquit him on a first-degree murder charge, and commit him to the custody of the state Department of Social and Health Services for treatment.
(KOMO reports that Ceesay is 29, but King 5 in Seattle states that the man is actually 53 years old.)
The man KOMO refers to as a "King County man" is, in fact, not a "King County man" but a "refugee" from Gambia.
In fact, Sana Ceesay has been in the United States as a "temporary" refugee since 1994. While in the U.S., he got hooked on drugs.
I'm sure glad our compassionate refugee policy allowed him to come to America to experience crack cocaine and have nearly thirty run-ins with law enforcement, mostly for assault and harassment, including trying to kill a man with a rubber mallet, before successfully killing an American in cold blood and avoiding jail time for it.
That's the American Dream right there!
Prosecutors said Ceesay stabbed Jackson multiple times on July 4, 2023. Court documents state there was no evidence that the men knew each other before that night.
Witnesses told investigators that Ceesay chased Jackson with a large knife and continued stabbing him after he fell to the ground. One witness recalled Jackson yelling, 'Why are you doing this, I don't even know you!'
...
Three mental health experts — two retained by the defense and one who evaluated Ceesay for the state — concluded that he was psychotic at the time of the killing and unable to distinguish right from wrong because of mental illness, the filing states.
The voices in your head told you to kill a man?
Not guilty! 🤡
