A stabbing defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park on Jan. 27.
Aron Williams, 33, was originally charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault knowingly while armed, for his alleged involvement in a domestic violence stabbing that occurred on Feb. 24, 2024 on the 300 block of 37th Street, SE. The victim, Williams’ romantic partner, suffered life-threatening injuries from 10 stab wounds to her mouth, arms, and legs.
Williams’ attorney, Hannah Claudio, informed the court of his intent to accept a plea deal, which would require him to plead guilty to assault with intent to kill in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment.
Judge Park accepted Williams’ guilty plea.
Parties will reconvene for sentencing on March 28.
