OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A woman who allegedly stabbed her ex-boyfriend during a dream or due to her imagination pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect Monday.
Morgan Lund, 21, is charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide for the Feb. 18 incident at a residence on Jefferson Street.
A psychiatric evaluation was ordered. The case returns to April 13, court records show.
According to the criminal complaint, police were called to the home, where Lund allegedly stabbed her ex-boyfriend, who was staying there.
The complaint states:
She had a muddled memory of something that might have been a dream, or her imagination, but she thought (the victim) was yelling at their daughter. She remembers then being in the living room area and seeing this dark, scary figure on top of (the victim), attacking him. She went over to the couch area and picked up a pair of scissors laying there and began ‘trying to kill’ the dark ominous figure attacking (the victim). It was not until (the victim) was screaming at her and fighting back that she realized the figure was not there and she was, in fact, injuring (the victim). She says that as soon as she realized what was happening she put down the scissors and tried to render first aid to (the victim).
The victim had multiple stab wounds on his back and front side. Police recovered a scissors which may have been used in the attack.
The victim said Lund has been abusive during their relationship.
Lund is being held on a $250,000 cash bond.
