Girlfriend of 'Miami zombie' Rudy Eugene says he was religious, a Christian

Yovonka Bryant, the girlfriend of Rudy Eugene, dubbed a “Miami zombie” because of his cannibalistic attack on a homeless man, has spoken out saying her boyfriend was a Christian and quite religious.

She has now retained media savvy attorney Gloria Allred, who stood by Bryant as she talked about Eugene during a news conference Wednesday.

Allred told reporters she was hired by Bryant to ensure the public knows the truth about Eugene and her client's relationship with him.

2. He was also apparently using "bath salts" as a drug, which is known to cause a violent psychosis.

I wonder which is more responsible for his actions?

This is a connection that people "related" to him are making not the OP. What was their motivation?

7. Probably for the same reason she is condemning cannibilism and hired Gloria Allred.

If this story weren't true, I would swear it was the Onion.

"Yovonka and I are very concerned about the issue of cannibalism and the number of cases that are being reported …," said Allred, reading from a statement at a bizarre news conference at the Sofitel Miami.
"We are hopeful that ... Yovonka can help the public understand the dire consequences of cannibalism for its victims."

But in this case his being Christian is about as relevant as him being a Dolphin fan, or having a 7 1/2 hat size.
He was psychotic.
