TORRINGTON – Laziur Stephen Hanway, a Wyoming Medium Correctional Institute inmate who stands accused of stabbing another inmate, will stand trial on July 20 at 9 a.m.
Hanway was originally scheduled to stand trial in March, but the trial was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hanway is currently serving a life sentence after being convicted of second-degree murder in 2013.
Hanway is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault and battery after attacking a fellow inmate with a homemade stabbing weapon in September 2019.
Earlier this month in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Judge Patrick Korell ordered the Wyoming Department of Corrections to release an unredacted report on the incident. The WDOC argued that confidential informants could be revealed in the report, but Korell deemed the information essential for both the defense and the prosecution.
“The prosecution asserts the information is relevant, necessary to fully understand the details of the crime and not otherwise procurable,” the order said.
