On Oct.4, DC Superior Court Judge Raffinan granted a prosecutor’s request to extend the indictment deadline for a stabbing case.
Marquita Holloman, 35, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a stabbing incident that occurred on Sept. 13, 2023 on the 2400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE. The incident injured two individuals, one losing an eye.
During the hearing, the prosecution filed a motion to extend the indictment deadline because the key witness was unavailable. According to the prosecutor, the witness was present during the assault and is a friend of the defendant’s.
Susan Ellis, Holloman’s attorney, argued against the motion stating that the prosecution’s had enough to produce the witness.
Nonetheless, Judge Raffinan granted the prosecution’s request.
Ellis also requested to remove Holloman’s GPS monitor. Judge Raffinan denied the request, citing the nature of the crime.
Court is set to reconvene on Nov. 7.
