DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld granted permission on June 24 to both the prosecution and the defense to obtain nursing facility surveillance footage and use it in court for a stabbing case.
Hollyman McQueen, 59, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, a knife on June 8, inside of a Washington Nursing Facility located on the 2400 block of 25th Street, SE. McQueen allegedly got into a verbal altercation for reasons unknown to the victim. According to court documents, McQueen stated he was stabbed while he was punching the victim, and he was unsure how the victim got stabbed.
In Monday’s hearing, McQueen’s defense attorney, Henry Escoto, placed on the record McQueen’s rejection of a plea offer that was discussed in a previous hearing.
Parties are set to reconvene on July 9.
