Raad Almansoori, the man accused of a fatal bludgeoning of a woman in a Manhattan hotel last month, will remain in Arizona for the foreseeable future, at least for now, due to pending legal proceedings. Almansoori has pleaded not guilty to charges related to two separate stabbing incidents in Phoenix, Arizona. These subsequent charges have delayed his extradition to New York City, where he faces accusations for the hotel killing in SoHo. The legal process in Arizona, including trial and sentencing for the alleged crimes, could extend over a year. Almansoori expressed his decision not to waive formal extradition proceedings to a judge in Phoenix on Monday. He was back in an Arizona courtroom Tuesday, where he pleaded not guilty.
