In Friday’s preliminary hearing, Carter’s defense attorney Ken Haber argued that his client was acting in self-defense after the victim was taunting her.
Haber also said the two women had a hostile relationship from several years prior.
“Instead of leaving, that person decided to confront my client, tired to egg her on, tried to get her to fight, tried to say she’s going to attack her, tried to say that if you don’t come out now, I’m going to be waiting for you outside,” Haber said.
Carter’s formal arraignment is scheduled for December.
