By Randy Wyrick<\/a><\/span> EAGLE \u2014 Attorneys say there is a 50\/50 chance that a teenager charged with trying to murder an Avon woman in May will take a plea deal, and not go to trial.
\nAndrew Young appeared Monday morning, Dec. 3, before District Court Judge Russell Granger for a procedural hearing. Young is charged with attempted murder for an early-morning knife attack, in which he allegedly stabbed a woman jogging on the recreation path along the Eagle River through Avon.
\nYoung and his attorney, Chief Public Defender Thea Reiff, will be back before Judge Granger at 9 a.m. Jan. 28.
\nThey say they should know by then whether the case will be resolved without a trial. If not, they’ll set a trial date during Young’s January court appearance.
\nDeputy District Attorney Stephen Potts and the victim were on the phone for Monday morning’s hearing.
\nYoung remains in jail after Judge Granger set Young’s bond at $2 million. During that bond hearing, District Attorney Bruce Brown said Young admitted in a recorded telephone call from the Eagle County jail that he was the sole participant in the attack.<\/p>\n

What police say happened
\nYoung moved to the Vail Valley from New Jersey in mid-April, and had lived in the Liftview apartments with his mother for two days when he allegedly ambushed and stabbed an Avon woman four times. The apartment was a quarter-mile away from the site of the alleged attack.
\nThe woman was out for a morning jog around 6:30 a.m.
\nAccording to the Avon police report, the victim saw him and continued her run. When he got to within an arm’s length, he allegedly plunged the knife into her body four times, including her head, Brown said.
\nAfter the attack, Young fled the scene, Brown said.
\nYoung’s mother took him to a local doctor with knife wounds to his hands. That doctor immediately alerted police, because the doctor had been informed about the assault, Brown said.
