Susan Soukup will be in court again in February after pleading not guilty to first-degree intentional homicide on Monday afternoon.

It marked the first action in the case since last month when the prosecutors entered a photo of the dagger used in the crime as evidence. According to the criminal complaint, the 52-year-old Soukup stated that she stabbed her roommate in the neck after she went to sleep instead of talking to her after work.  Soukup reportedly called police and admitted to the stabbing.   If convicted, Soukup could face up to life in prison.

Soukup will appear in court on February 1st.
