An Aptos woman accused of using a carving knife to stab her husband to death entered a plea of not guilty during a court appearance on Thursday.
51-year-old Amanda Owens is set to be in court again on Oct. 18th.
In August, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office responded to her home after a report of a stabbing.
An assistant district attorney told KION Television that Owens was fighting with her husband, Thomas Owens, over finances and their disabled son when the stabbing took place. The DA said Amanda Owens grabbed a knife and stabbed her husband multiple times.
Amanda Owens was arrested and later posted bail.
