A stabbing defendant accepted a plea deal from the prosecution and pleaded guilty to assault with intent to kill before DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo on Oct. 28.
Jeremiah Smalls is charged with assault with intent to kill for a stabbing that occurred on the 1700 block of S St, SE on April 7, 2023 that left one person injured.
According to court documents, Smalls and the victim had a “partner-in-common relationship”, meaning that they both had a child with the same woman.
According to prosecution, Smalls entered the apartment where the victim was located and stabbed him multiple times, intending to kill him. “There is no legal justification for what happened,” stated the prosecution.
Through the deal, the parties agreed the prosecution would not seek an indictment on other charges.
Judge Demeo accepted Smalls’ guilty plea.
Parties will reconvene on Nov. 13 for a status hearing.
