DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian ruled for a continuance in a stabbing case after the defendant missed a court appearance on June 26 due to Amtrak delays.
Gregory Edmonds, 26, was charged with significant bodily injury while armed. The incident took place on July 4, 2023 at 3:30 pm at the 2000 Block of Martin Luther King Jr Avenue, SE.
According to court documents, the attack involved one victim who sustained a non-life-threatening cut to the left side of his abdomen and a laceration to the upper mid-torso.
Edmonds, who was released from jail on July 10, 2023, lives in North Carolina and utilizes Amtrak to commute to his hearings.
Judge Christian rescheduled the hearing to allow Edmonds time to buy tickets and commute.
Parties are slated to reconvene July 12.
