Katy Fulfer says even though the discussion is termed 'philosophical,' everyone can participate.
The associate professor and students victimized by a former student in a stabbing rampage last summer at the University of Waterloo told his sentencing hearing about the nightmares, and physical and emotional scars they've been living with since the June 2023 attack in a gender-studies class. The week-long hearing for Geovanny Villalba Aleman began Monday.The professor who was stabbed by a former student at the University of Waterloo last summer has shared her testimony in court.
It took over two months for her to feel ready to resume her regular job and volunteer role providing free community meals. Fulfer said that in the months after the attack, she received hate mail and began to worry about possibly being targeted again. She began to imagine ways she could use everyday items like her laptop and metal water bottle to defend herself.The students who were attacked also wrote victim impact statements, which were read aloud by the Crown lawyers.
"There have been times where I felt numb about everything," she wrote. "I felt as if my soul had detached from my body." Waterloo regional police are seen outside Hagey Hall at the University of Waterloo on June 28, 2023, after the stabbing attack. She wrote about how she is now afraid of knives and unable to cook in her kitchen. She said she missed and failed classes because of anxiety and PTSD.Danielle Boland was one of the witnesses of the attack. In her police statement, she said she remembers Fulfer falling into the back left corner of the room behind the desk as Villalba-Aleman stood above her, holding a knife.
