Trial begins for Indiana man accused of screwdriver stabbing

FRANKFORT, Ind. (AP) - A trial has opened for an Indiana man accused of stabbing a 72-year-old woman and her great-granddaughter with a sharpened screwdriver outside a library.

Sixty-three-year-old Reginald Robinson faces two attempted murder charges in the 2013 incident outside the library in Frankfort. Authorities say Robinson stabbed the 4-year-old girl in the face and that she lost sight in one eye.

The great-grandmother testified Tuesday that Robinson stabbed her in the head and that she hadn't met him before the attack.

The Journal and Courier (http://on.jconline.com/1aei0Qy ) reports court documents show Robinson's attorney plans to use an insanity defense.

Robinson could receive up to 50 years in prison for each charge of attempted murder.
