PHOENIX (Map, News) - Alleged serial killer Dale Hausner pleaded not guilty Thursday to attempted murder and aggravated assault charges from the latest case added to the Serial Shooter investigation.
Hausner, 35, and his brother, Jeff Hausner, 41, were both charged in the case. Authorities say the brothers allegedly attacked a man, stabbing him in May 2006 in west Phoenix.
The victim survived the attack.
In addition to the charges from the May 2006 stabbing, Dale Hausner also faces eight murder charges stemming from a string of random attacks between 2005 and 2006. He has pleaded not guilty, however his alleged accomplice, former roommate Samuel Dieteman, pleaded guilty earlier this year to two murder charges.
Dale Hausner's trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 3.
Jeff Hausner pleaded guilty last year to an aggravated assault in the April 2006 stabbing of a different man. He was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison in that case.
