## Key points

- Berman says Joseph’s eight-and-a-half-year sentence is too light.
- He pleaded guilty to stabbing her 22 times in 2025.
- She was left with lasting injuries after 48 days in hospital.

## Summary

Kaitlynn Berman, 23, has criticised a Bronx judge for sentencing Christopher Joseph to eight and a half years in prison after he pleaded guilty to stabbing her 22 times. She said the sentence was far too light, particularly after prosecutors had sought 10 years, and objected to the judge’s emphasis on Joseph’s age and potential to change.

The attack took place in March 2025 at Berman’s Wakefield apartment after she rejected Joseph’s advances; her three-year-old daughter was in the next room and was unharmed. Berman spent 48 days in hospital, underwent three operations and two blood transfusions, and has lasting scars and nerve damage. Joseph’s plea deal included five years of post-release supervision; the charge carried a possible sentence of up to 25 years.
