Blaming Diabetes: Andrew Caban’s Assault on Richard Regen

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Andrew Caban’s assault on 61-year-old Richard Regen in Manhattan has sparked outrage as the attacker attempts to evade jail time by blaming his diabetes for the violent act.

Regen, who suffered brain surgery and endured a 30-day hospital stay following the attack, now lives with frequent seizures. Before the assault, he was en route to rehabilitation for a stroke suffered years earlier.

Andrew Caban’s apology in Manhattan Criminal Court, attributing the attack to his diabetes-induced hypoglycemic episode, has drawn widespread condemnation. Despite facing up to a year in jail, Caban pleaded guilty to reckless assault in the third degree, raising concerns about the leniency of the plea deal.

The victim’s ongoing struggles and the severity of the attack underscore the injustice of Caban potentially escaping significant consequences. Critics denounce the possibility of a “slap on the wrist” for such a heinous act, highlighting systemic failures within the NYC justice system.

As the case unfolds, calls for accountability and justice for Richard Regen resonate loudly, challenging the perceived inequities and inadequacies within the criminal justice system.
