LEWISTON A judge ruled Thursday that an 11-year-old Auburn girl accused of stabbing her father and charged with attempted murder could stay with a relative if she were to abide by a safety plan that includes house confinement.
Judge Susan Oram said at a videoconference hearing in 8th District Court that the allegations against the girl are “extremely serious,” but the juvenile was “quite young.”
After listening to testimony from treatment providers referenced in the girl’s “safety plan” that was drafted by defense attorney Gina Yamartino, Oram concluded the girl could be released, “but if and only if every single aspect of the safety plan were in place,” she said.

A judge ordered Friday that an 11-year-old Auburn girl charged with attempted murder in her father’s stabbing this week will be evaluated for competency and will remain in state custody.
At Friday’s videoconference hearing, Assistant District Attorney Molly Butler Bailey referred to an affidavit written by Detective Nate Gagnon that said said the girl had blindfolded her father before she stabbed him twice. He apparently knocked the knife away, so she went to retrieve a second knife, but didn’t stab him again.
Butler Bailey said, based on affidavits, the stabbing had been premeditated and deliberate.
