A Baltimore man accused of attempted murder was denied bail on Jan. 18 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jeannie J. Hong.
Latarsha Nedd, 43, was charged with second-degree attempted murder, first and second-degree assault, and having a deadly weapon with the intent to injure in connection to an incident on Oct. 3, 2021.
During a bail hearing on Tuesday, Judge Hong listened as the prosecutor requested that the defendant to be denied bail and noted that the defendant stabbed the victim twice in the chest after they had a dispute. He also said the defendant is a threat to public safety and the victim because they live together.
Nedd’s defense attorney, Andrea Jalusky, argued that the defendant was assaulted and was defending herself after being hit in the face by the victim. She also argued that the defendant had no prior convictions from the last 13 years, nor is she a flight risk or a threat to public safety.
After listening to both counsel’s, Judge Hong ruled that Nedd is a threat to public safety and denied bail.
Nedd’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 25.
