How do you stab someone 20 times..BY MISTAKE??? - QueenBee - 09-11-2010

(PEOPLE.com) -- The "40-Year-Old Virgin" actor Shelley Malil testified Thursday he stabbed his girlfriend 20 times when he wrongly thought that she was somebody else going after him in the dark.

"I'm sorry," Malil, 45, said in a Vista, California, courtroom. "I had no idea. I saw the pictures (of her wounds) for the first time, I was stunned. When I look at those pictures, I still can't believe the knife I was holding was responsible for all those injuries."

Taking the stand in his own defense, the actor insisted he never intended to kill or hurt Kendra Beebe, 38, at her San Diego County house one night in August 2008. But then "chaos" broke out, some of which he says he still can't remember clearly.

Malil, who played one of Steve Carell's electronics store coworkers in the movie, pleaded not guilty to charges of premeditated attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and residential burglary. He could get 21 years to life in prison if convicted.

Malil told the jury that when he arrived at Beebe's house, he found her sipping wine with her pal David Maldonado. Malil says he felt threatened because he thought Maldonado was about to come after him.

"I heard the chair behind me backing up," he recalls. "I reach for the knife. ... I grab half the handle and he's pulling my arm, and I'm pulling away from him."

After a tumble, Malil says he realized Maldonado no longer had the knife. "I assume he's going for something else," he says. "I follow him to the kitchen."

But on the way, Malil says Maldonado was headed to his car. "I'm almost positive this guy's got a gun and coming after me," he says. "I come around the corner. It's eerily quiet. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I get hit from the back on the side of the head. It felt like cold granite countertop."

That's when Malil, still carrying a knife at this point, started slashing out in defense in the dark. "It was going crazy," he says. "It seemed like it was going for a minute."

It wasn't until hearing Beebe shout, "Call 911!" that Malil realized she was the one he was stabbing.

"That's the first time I look and see it's Kendra I'm fighting with," he says.

The trial will continue with cross-examination Monday, and closing statements are expected Tuesday.

An actor who appeared in the film 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' was sentenced to life in prison yesterday for stabbing his ex-girlfriend more than 20 times when he caught her with another man.

Shelley Malil will serve at least 12 years before being considered for parole San Diego County Superior Court Judge Harry Elias ruled.

The sentence comes three months after a jury convicted the actor of attempted premeditated murder and assault with a deadly weapon.

The victim, Kendra Beebe, suffered punctured lungs and wounds to her neck, chest, back and arms in the 2008 attack.

'I want to do whatever I need to do to make sure I make right from the wrong that I did,' he said.

'Kendra Beebe did not deserve anything that happened to her. ... I can't even begin to imagine what she has been through,' he added.

Before the sentencing, Beebe also spoke to the court about the physical and emotional pain she suffered.

'Despite the stab wounds he inflicted, I am alive,' she said, going on to say Malil's testimony had not been credible.

'During the course of the trial it became clear he was an actor, but not a very good actor at that. His testimony was lie after lie after lie,' she said.

The sentence makes Malil eligible for parole in 12 years, but prosecutor Keith Watanabe said Malil could be freed in as few as nine years taking into account time already served and good behaviour.

Malil, 45, testified at trial that he visited Beebe at her San Marcos home in suburban San Diego in August 2008 to apologise for taking personal items from her house and to warn that he e-mailed sexually explicit photos of the couple to her co-workers.

He stabbed her with a kitchen knife after finding her drinking wine with another man.

The couple began dating in 2007 when Beebe responded to online dating ad and had a stormy relationship, authorities said.

Two days before the attack, Malil stranded Beebe and her cousin at the beach, stole marijuana and other items from her home and locked her out of her house.

Malil - who played Haziz, a co-worker of Steve Carell's character in 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' - had faced a maximum penalty of life in prison with no possibility for parole for 14 years.

His lawyer argued there was no doubt Malil went too far when he picked up a kitchen knife and began stabbing Beebe, but said Malil never intended to kill the woman.

The defense also questioned Beebe's credibility as a witness and described her as a violent drama queen who tried to make men jealous.

The jury convicted the actor of the two most serious charges and acquitting him of burglary.

Prosecutors said Malil quarrelled with Beebe the day before the attack, stranding her at the beach and stealing marijuana and other items from her home.

Malil fled the house after neighbours heard Beebe's screaming. He was arrested the next day at an Amtrak station in nearby Oceanside.

After the sentencing, Beebe told reporters she believed justice was served and that she hoped Malil's apology was sincere.
