(Eraldo Peres, File/Associated Press)RIO DE JANEIRO — A Brazilian judge on Friday absolved the man who stabbed then-presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro in his torso last year, citing his mental illness and ordering him held indefinitely in a prison mental facility. On Friday, judge Bruno Savino ruled that Bispo’s preventive detention should be converted into an indefinite internment in a mental facility within the federal prison system. He said that during his examination he said he intended to attack Bolsonaro again as well as former President Michel Temer.
