On Jan.5, DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan continued a hearing in response to the defense’s motion for dismissal of a homicide case.
Alisa Randall, 35, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for her alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 59-year-old Ronald Jones, on July 15, 2019, on the 1300 block of Euclid Street, NW.
According to court documents, Jones suffered two superficial stab wounds on his left arm and one fatal stab wound to his upper chest.
Randall’s defense counsel, Dana Page and Ashley Guzman, argued to the court that Randall’s case should be dismissed.
They explained she has never been found mentally competent after several evaluations, and her situation is unchanged.
The prosecution also requested more time to prepare a final pleading for this motion, and explained that they have new information they want to sort through before presenting it to the court.
Page and Guzman did not oppose the request which Judge Raffinan granted.
The parties are expected to reconvene on Jan. 25.
