Man Pleads Not Guilty to January Attack

Daniel Dion, 18, of Des Plaines pleaded not guilty in court Thursday night for a stabbing attack that took place on Feb. 19, the Chicago Tribune is reporting.

“Authorities said Dion admitted he attacked the woman while inside her vehicle. He allegedly told investigators “he woke up in the morning with the intent to kill her because she annoyed him,” according to a police news release following the incident,” the story states.

Patch reported on the crime when it occurred on Jan. 9.

The victim, Katherine M. King was at the hearing on Thursday.

“As a jail guard led Dion into the courtroom cuffed and wearing a red shirt, King leaned forward on the pew in front of her, slowly shook her head “no,” and refused to turn away,” The Daily Herald reported.

Dion is due back in court on March 19 and his trial is set for April 13.
