Two defendants charged in connection to the same incident claimed they’ve never before during a hearing on Feb. 10 with DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro.
Kevin Allen, 37, is charged with robbery while armed offenses committed during release, assault with a dangerous weapon while armed offenses committed during release, robbery while armed offenses committed during release, and assault with a dangerous weapon offenses committed during release, for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred on July 18 2023, near the 1500 block of Benning Road, NE.
Catherine Rondeau, 52, is charged with conspiracy, assault with intent to commit robbery, and second-degree theft for her alleged involvement in the stabbing incident on July 18, 2023.
During the hearing, both Allen and Rondeau asserted that they do not know each other and alleged the case is built on false information. The trial had previously been scheduled for Allen, but was postponed to ensure all indictment charges could be tried together.
Judge Di Toro granted a 45-day continuance to allow Allen and Rondeau time to meet with new defense counsel.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Apr. 14 for an additional status hearing.
