Trial date set for teen accused in party stabbing
The youth accused of stabbing a teen girl multiple times has pleaded not guilty, and will go on trial May 30. The trial was scheduled to run for three days.
The youth, who cannot be identified due to his age, was not personally in the courtroom Wednesday as he is currently out of the province. His plea was entered through his lawyer. He was charged with aggravated assault and carrying a weapon for a dangerous purpose after the stabbing, which occured in the early-morning hours of Oct. 15 at an outdoor party in the R.M. of Buckland.
The young victim spoke to paNOW immediately after the trial date was set, on the condition of anonymity.
“It’s scary and upsetting,” she said. “I’ve never [had to deal with something] like this before.”
