DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond delayed a stabbing defendant’s preliminary hearing due to his illness and subsequent hospitalization on Sept. 9.
Ethan Cunningham, 20, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in an incident that occurred on July 10 at the DC Jail on the 1900 block of D Street, SE. One individual was stabbed, and sustained an injury to the neck and lower back.
The defendant is also charged with three counts of felony murder while armed, first-degree burglary while armed and other counts for his involvement in the death of 38-year-old James Curtis on May 10, 2022, on the 2600 block of Stanton Road, SE.
Thomas Healy, Cunningham’s attorney, stated he would visit hims in the hospital, and requested the Judge set a new hearing date.
Another hearing is scheduled for Sept. 17, but parties will reconvene earlier if the defendant’s condition improves.
