STAMFORD Police are trying to work out whether self defense played a part in a fatal stabbing that reportedly took place in the city early in the morning after Christmas.
Stamford resident Anissa Maples, 49, was charged with manslaughter and arraigned Monday at the Stamford courthouse. Walton Harris, 50, who police say had a prior relationship with Maples, died in the altercation, police said.
Judge Gary White told Maples to get an attorney before she comes back to court on Jan. 25. She was released over the weekend by police without bond after signing a promise to appear in court. The case has been placed on the Part A Docket where the most serous criminal cases in the courthouse are adjudicated.
