SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Santa Barbara teenager who police say stabbed a classmate multiple times is out on bail.
NewsChannel 3-12 has learned that Cora Vides was released from the Santa Barbara County Jail on February 17, three days after the brutal attack.
Bail for the 18-year-old was set at $1 million.
Terms of her release as stated in the Order Setting Bail Modification include mental health counseling and having no contact with the victim.
Both the victim and defendant are students at Laguna Blanca, the private high school in Hope Ranch.
Aside from the horrifying lead item in this week’s Best of Bill column, the ongoing COVID-19 crisis dominated the Top 5. It’s the first time in months that’s happened, but it reflects the pivotal period our community has entered with the frenzy of activity and expectations surrounding the vaccines.
In addition to our regular coverage of the coronavirus, Noozhawk managing editor Giana Magnoli has been asking readers to send in their specific vaccine questions, and she and her team have been diligently answering them.
They’ve been doing that for more than two months, and it’s been an extremely popular and valuable service. I’d call it solutions journalism at its most basic form.
