Attempted Murder Charge Dropped in Arizona State University Stabbing Case

Kaci Sloan faces lesser charges after allegedly attacking classmate Mara Daffron in a random classroom stabbing.

Kaci Sloan, a 19-year-old ASU student, allegedly stabbed her classmate Mara Daffron multiple times in a Glendale classroom on September 19.
The initial charge of first-degree attempted murder against Sloan has been dropped, and she now faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct.
Witness Matthew McCormick intervened during the attack, potentially saving Daffron's life by disarming Sloan.
A note found in Sloan's backpack suggested she planned the attack, and she admitted to targeting Daffron as an 'easier target.'
Sloan's bail is set at $250,000, and she has pleaded not guilty; her initial pretrial conference is scheduled for November 21.
