A not guilty plea to a murder charge was entered on Algarin’s behalf.

According to court documents, 911 calls indicated Algarin was sleepwalking when she allegedly stabbed Swedberg in the chest in a Worcester home.
Authorities say Algarin told responding police that she didn’t meant to do it and “it’s my new medication.”
Algarin was initially sent for a competency evaluation, but in court Tuesday her attorney said she has been found competent. He has said she suffers from mental health issues.
