The trial of Shawn Laval Smith for the alleged stabbing murder of Brianna Kupfer, a UCLA architectural graduate student, has begun in Los Angeles.
"The evidence will demonstrate that the defendant attacked Brianna with such force, such determination, with such frequent and numerous swings of this knife that he bent the steel blade," Habib Balian, a deputy district attorney, said in the prosecution's opening statement. "Brianna Kupfer was stabbed to death 26 times."
Smith, who has a long criminal history, was arrested six days after Kupfer's murder.
