Woman Released After Mental Health Treatment | Bismarck News
Description
A Mandan woman, once facing up to ten years at a state hospital after a deadly stabbing involving sewing shears, has been released into transitional housing — a move hailed by her attorney as proof of her remarkable progress and commitment to recovery. After being found not guilty by reason of mental illness for burglary and spending 244 days in jail, she admitted to a new crime in 2024. Though originally charged with attempted murder and six assault counts — later dismissed — her defense emphasized her active treatment, compassionate outreach, and consistent improvement. The judge, weighing aggravating factors, ultimately sided with her rehabilitation journey, approving her move to a supervised housing program in Stutsman County, with potential relocation to Minot. In a remote appearance, she voiced her heartfelt desire to return home — a wish the court honored, believing in her path to healing and accountability.
