DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park sentenced a stabbing defendant to 18 months incarceration with 12 months of probation on Oct. 17.
On Aug. 22, Alicia Faison, 35, pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon for her involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on April 22 on the 4000 block of G Street, SE.
According to court documents, Faison let two homeless people into her apartment. She left and when she returned, started yelling, grabbed two knives from the kitchen, and stabbed one of the individuals multiple times in the hands, arms, and neck.
Prosecution noted that Faison also tested positive for PCP during the time of the incident, and she has been non-compliant with supervised release in the past.
Faison’s defense attorney, Jamison Kohler, noted that Faison accepted full responsibility for her actions and did not try to accuse anyone in the courtroom. Kohler also stated that Faison’s noncompliance was from a case that was almost 10 years old, and not this one.
After considering all arguments, Judge Park agreed with the defense’s proposal and sentenced Faison to 18 months incarceration, 12 months of probation, and three years supervised release. He also ordered Faison to complete an anger management course.
No further dates were set.
