Arizona college student accused in random classmate stabbing has attempted murder charge dropped
|
 [FoxNews] Arizona State University student Kaci Sloan, who is accused of stabbing a fellow student twice in a Glendale classroom last month in an apparently random attack, entered a not-guilty plea in Maricopa County on Wednesday after two of her four charges were dismissed last week.
Maricopa County authorities initially arrested and booked Sloan, 19, on four counts, including first-degree attempted murder, in connection with the attack against student Mara Daffron. After a review of the charges submitted and a preliminary hearing on Sept. 30, the county attorney’s office charged Sloan with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.
Judge Ashley Rahaman also gave Sloan a cash bail of $250,000 and listed the conditions of her release should she be able to post bail in full.
Sloan allegedly walked up to her classmate, Daffron, on Sept. 19 and stabbed her "multiple times," according to an affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital citing multiple witness accounts.
Matthew McCormick, a student who witnessed the attack unfolding in the classroom, took swift action to stop the alleged stabbing, potentially saving Daffron's life, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.
"Another witness described the defendant was sitting in the classroom at a desk and suddenly got up and ran at the victim as the victim entered the classroom and stabbed her multiple times," the affidavit states.
Detectives found a handwritten note inside Sloan’s backpack that apparently referenced an act she was "about to commit," but it did "not specifically state what she was referring to."
Sloan also allegedly expressed the desire to "hurt somebody" in class that day in an interview with detectives after the incident and targeted Daffron because she was "an easier target" than the other person she apparently considered attacking, who she referred to as "a veteran."
Authorities quickly arrived at the scene and took Daffron to a nearby hospital, where she received treatment.
Sloan has an initial pretrial conference scheduled for Nov. 21.
