Ridgefield Woman Accused Of Attempted Manslaughter Approved For Special Program

A Ridgefield woman facing charges of attempted manslaughter, has been approved for a supervised diversionary program. 63 year old Katherine Bleach was arrested last year after being accused of helping a 65-year-old relative attempt suicide via an overdose. A Danbury judge granted Bleach the two-year program. Successful completion could lead to the charge’s dismissal. Prosecutors supported the decision. Meanwhile, Bleach is required to continue therapy and medication compliance as part of the program.
