Wisconsin river stabbing suspect convicted after claiming self-defense in tubing fight that killed teen [Video]

Nicolae Miu was convicted Thursday after fatally stabbing a high school student and injuring four others during a fight on a Wisconsin river that he said was self-defense.

Miu and the others had been tubing on the Apple River on July 30, 2022 when a fight broke out, which resulted in the death of Isaac Schuman, 17.

After eight days in court and 40 witnesses’ testimony, Miu was convicted of reckless homicide, battery and four counts of recklessly endangering safety.

Investigators wrote in court documents that Minnesota native Miu attacked the group after people accused him of approaching children in the water with a snorkel and goggles – but Miu said that he was looking for a cellphone in the water, and that he attacked the group out of self-defense, according to the Associated Press.
