The day before Randy Herman Jr. killed Brooke Preston, he had got drunk and hid naked in her closet.

A Florida man who claimed he was sleepwalking when he stabbed his roommate to death has been sentenced to life in prison. Randy Herman Jr., 26, stabbed Brooke Preston more than 20 times at their home in West Palm Beach on March 25, 2017, The Palm Beach Post reported.

After stabbing Preston to death, Herman drove to a park. There, he called 911 and said that, while he didn’t remember killing Preston, he was likely the culprit as they were alone at the property they shared with the victim’s sister. Herman and his team attempted to plead insanity. Assistant Public Defender Joseph Walsh told the court Herman had no motive and no history of violence, and the only “rational explanation” was he sleepwalked during the incident.

Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Wade C. Myers testified it is not possible to sleep through the action of stabbing, and argued the motive was sexual. The day before he killed Preston, Herman had drunk heavily and hid naked in her closet.
