Judge Allows Trial for Husband Who Stabbed Wife | Baltimore News

A judge has cleared Alexander Stephenson to stand trial for the brutal murder of his estranged wife, who was stabbed in their home after he allegedly tried to stop her son from calling 911. The chilling scene also included Stephenson cutting his own wrists before fleeing — a horrifying act that underscores a pattern of violence. Despite her efforts to protect herself through a protective order filed last January, she was fatally attacked on February 8th. Stephenson’s history of domestic abuse, including prior charges for assault and violating protective orders — even biting a child and attempting to injure another while intoxicated — adds grim context. He turned himself in hours after the stabbing. His next court date is January 1st, 2027, with trial set for March 15th, 2027 — a case that exposes the devastating consequences when protective measures fail and violence escalates.
