LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — A woman accused of stabbing a 3-year-old neighbor as he walked with an older sibling to a school bus stop in Ohio last year has been acquitted of all charges on the grounds of insanity.
The Dayton Daily News reports that Warren County Common Pleas Judge Donald Oda II rendered his verdict Thursday after closing arguments in the bench trial of 47-year-old Xiaoyan Zhu.
She had been indicted the month after the March 2021 attack on charges of attempted aggravated murder and two counts of felonious assault.
Oda ordered her to remain in custody pending a further hearing to determine her treatment.
