DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur warned a stabbing defendant of the consequences of not following her conditions of release in a felony status conference on Feb. 18.
Tyra Redad, 34, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in the stabbing of a victim on the 800 block of 7th Street, NW, on Dec. 1, 2024.
Redad appeared for her felony status conference via Webex video on Feb. 18 due to issues with transportation to the courthouse. Defense attorney Chantal Jean-Baptiste requested another status hearing so that Redad could be present in person. When confirming the next court date, defense asked Redad if Feb. 28 would work for her.
“It’s not really a choice,” said Judge Errol Arthur. He also demanded that Redad resume her drug testing, as she has skipped her last few.
There is currently an open plea for Redad to plead guilty to assault with significant bodily injury, in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment, and the plea will remain available through the next status hearing.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Feb. 28.
