The suspect in a stabbing that killed a 3-year-old girl and injured eight others made his first court appearance Monday, where he was denied bail.
A large crowd gathered in the courtroom to watch the hearing for Timmy Kinner; people filled the benches and stood near the doors.
Kinner appeared via teleconference while sitting at a table in the jail with a public defender. He told the judge he wanted to represent himself, but Comstock assigned him a public defender.
Ada County Deputy Prosecutor Daniel Dinger said Kinner has twice threatened jail staff since his arrest Saturday. Dinger also pointed out that Kinner had had prior felony convictions involving weapons and a 2012 assault conviction.
Dinger on Monday asked the judge either to issue no bond at all or a $10 million bond.
Given the nature of the crime, Comstock said, as well as Kinner’s lack of ties to the Boise community, he didn’t feel bond was appropriate in Kinner’s case.
