Psychiatric test ordered for subway death suspect
Erika Menendez 31 is charged with murder as a hate crime in the death of Sunanda Sen, a Calcutta native, shoved to his death on a Queens N train platform. She laughed loudly in court as she was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation. Prosecutors say she blamed Muslims Hindus and Egyptians for 9/11 and confessed to pushing a Muslim off the tracks. Sen, a graphic designer and copy shop owner, was killed as witnesses saw a woman flee after the act. Next court date set for January 14 amid renewed calls for platform barrier tests.

Beauty queen faces 5 million defamation ruling
Pennsylvania former Miss Pennsylvani USA Sheena Mannin says she is stunned by an arbitrator’s decision ordering her to pay $5 million to Miss USA pageant organizers for defamation. The ruling found her claims that finalists were chosen before the live telecast were false and harmed the pageant’s sponsorship prospects. Mannin, who resigned after the pageant, calls contest officials’ contract clause on top five finalist selection a catch-all.
