After multiple delays, the legal proceedings for a woman accused of stabbing a child on a street in Halifax are now progressing. Elliott Chorny, aged 19, faces charges of attempted murder and weapons offenses following an incident on February 23 this year. In a recent court appearance in Halifax provincial court, Chorny’s lawyer, Anna Mancini, indicated that her client wishes to undergo trial by a judge from the Nova Scotia Supreme Court without a jury.
Subsequently, Mancini and Crown prosecutor Steve Anstey are scheduled to meet with a Supreme Court justice later this week to determine the next course of action. The victim, a six-year-old boy who sustained multiple stab wounds, was initially reported to be in critical condition. However, there have been no updates on the child’s condition since the immediate aftermath of the attack.
Chorny has been in custody since her apprehension. The legal process experienced delays after a judge mandated a 30-day psychiatric evaluation back in March.
