NEW YORK (WABC) — A man convicted in the brutal murders of four homeless men on the streets of Chinatown is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday.<\/p>\n

Randy Santos<\/a> was convicted by a jury in February of beating the four men<\/a> as they slept during a 2019 rampage.<\/p>\n

He’s accused of attacking his victims at random with a 15-pound metal pipe.<\/p>\n

Santos’ lawyers argued that he suffers from schizophrenia and is too mentally ill to be held criminally responsible.<\/p>\n

He faces a possible sentence of life in prison.<\/p>\n
