The man convicted of raping and murdering 6-year-old Destiny Wright of Kensington is "a very disturbed young man," a psychologist testified yesterday in support of attempts by defense lawyers to keep Abdul Malik El-Shabazz off death row.
Although the city's schools, juvenile courts and the Department of Human Services had had repeated contact with El-Shabazz and his family since the 20-year-old Kensington man was born addicted to heroin, New Jersey psychologist Edward J. Dougherty told jurors he never got the help he desperately needed
