'MOMMA'S BOY' GARY SCHUNING GUILTY IN DOUBLE SLAY

MAD GARY SCHUNING
A SELF described "momma's boy" butchered his own mother, stabbing her more than 40 times in the chest, then turned the blade on a hooker he paid for with her credit card. Mad Gary Schuning "viciously and senselessly" slashed and stabbed 40-year-old Doris Pagliaro after night of heavy drinking and drug taking. Her body was found in a first-floor bedroom of their Chicago home with a knife still embedded in her chest.
Then he took her credit card and called 18-escort services, eventually bringing three different women to his house, before calling in 21-year-old Kristi Hoenig in for three-way sex and promising her  $1220.
But after she arrived she became alarmed at the spattered blood around the house and called her pimp - who called the cops when her call ended abruptly, prosecutors said. 
Her partially naked body was found by cops on the floor while Schuning, who by this time had turned the knife on himself, lay bleeding and shirtless on a bed.
Schuning’s attorney denied he was the killer, claiming a group of unidentified attackers entered the home and killed Pagliaro and Hoenig, before attacking him. 
“It’s a group of people doing this, not Gary,” said attorney Neil Levine.
“Somebody else was there.”
But DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin called his claims "nonsense."
He said: “This defendant, sitting right here, cruelly and callously stabbed and murdered his own mother, his own flesh and blood.”
“He also stabbed and murdered, viciously and senselessly, Kristi Hoenig, a young woman he didn’t know who had her whole life ahead of her.”
Schuning will spend the rest of his life in prison for the attack.
