Boise, Idaho • A lawsuit against an man accused of fatally stabbing a 3-year-old girl — and injuring eight others — during the child’s birthday party at a Boise apartment complex is being put on hold due to concerns about the defendant’s mental health.
Fourth District Court Judge Samuel Hoagland expressed concern on Tuesday at a hearing about moving forward with the case. He noted 31-year-old Timmy Kinner Jr.’s commitment to the prison ward would pose a major barrier to the case.
