Ohio Judge Defends Release of Suspect Before Fatal Stabbing of Toddler

Suspect Bionca Ellis, who allegedly killed a 3-year-old boy, had a history of legal issues and mental health concerns.

Judge Brian Hagan released Ellis days before the attack due to lack of mental health evaluation resources.
Ellis had previously been involved in multiple legal incidents across different states.
The attack on Julian Wood and his mother was reportedly random, with no prior connection to the victims.
Ellis exhibited erratic behavior in court, leading to multiple interruptions during her arraignment.
Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty, and Ellis is currently held on a $5 million bond.
