DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe postponed a status hearing for a stabbing defendant who is considering withdrawing his plea on Feb. 5. 

Carlton Davis, 48, previously pleaded guilty to assault with a significant bodily injury for stabbing a victim’s hand with a pair of scissors on July 13, 2024, on the 200 block of 35th Street, SE. 

Ferguson Evans, Davis’ attorney, informed Judge Pipe that Davis is reconsidering his plea that was accepted by DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun on Aug. 28, 2024. 

Evans also informed Judge Pipe that he did not have this case on his today schedule, and requested a short continuance to discuss the plea offer with Davis. 

Parties are slated to reconvene on Feb. 11.
