Case for nanny’s ‘intentional’ evil

AN UPPER West Side nanny who stabbed and slashed two kids to death in 2012 had full control over her mind when she carried out the unthinkable horror, a prosecutor argued Monday.

“She did it intentionally with a full understanding of exactly what it was she was doing,” Assistant District Attorney Stuart Silberg said in closing arguments at the first-degree murder trial of 55-year-old Yoselyn Ortega (photo).

“Every stab, every slash — each one had a purpose and that purpose was to end the lives of those children,” he added.

Ortega admits to fatally wounding little Lulu and Leo Krim, 6 and 2, in their family’s W. 75th St. home on Oct. 25, 2012, but her lawyers claim she was in the midst of a “psychotic” and “dissociative” state and cannot be held accountable for her actions.

Silberg told the jury Ortega stewed over her personal failures and compared her luck to that of Marina Krim, the doting, now-devastated mother of the victims.

She plotted to kill the Krim kids in a depraved bid to spite their mom and tried to end her own life, Silberg said. Deliberations are expected to begin Tuesday.
