Clayton Whittemore, 21, pleaded not guilty to murder at his arraignment in October.
The Monroe County District Attorney's Office says Whittemore's attorneys have filed a notice of "Extreme Emotional Disturbance," basically what's known as an insanity defense.
Police say Whittemore brutally beat 18-year-old Alex Kogut to death inside her SUNY Brockport dorm room in late September.
