A stabbing defendant accepted a plea deal extended by prosecutors before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on Sept. 23.
Le Count Briscoe, 52, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his involvement in a stabbing incident on July 7 at the intersection of 8th and E Street, SE.
During the hearing, Jesse Winograd, Briscoe’s attorney, alerted the court of his intention to accept a deal that required him to plead guilty to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon in exchange for the prosecution’s not seeking an indictment.
Attempted assault with a dangerous weapon carries a penalty of up to five years in prison in addition to a $12,500 fine, along with three years of supervised release.
Judge Hertzfeld scheduled sentencing for Dec. 9.
