The case against Sean Baker, charged with the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend, will head to trial in March of next year.
Baker, who has been released from jail while her case continues, allegedly stabbed Robert Wiggins in the heart during a fight in their apartment last year.
Baker was initially charged with assault with intent to kill, but the charges were upgraded to second-degree murder while armed after Wiggins died from his injuries on Jan. 31. The defense has suggested Baker acted out of self defense.
A trial is scheduled for March 24, 2018.
