A stabbing defendant requested that his charges from different cases be tried together before DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Herrmann on Feb. 19.
William Brock, 34, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred at the DC Jail on the 1900 Block of D Street SE on Jan. 22. One victim suffered lacerations and was transported to a nearby hospital.
In court, Atiq Ahmed, Brock’s attorney, stated Brock intended to waive his right to a preliminary hearing, and added they were not seeking release.
Ahmed requested that Goodman’s stabbing charge be heard at the same time as a pending bank robbery incident that occurred on Nov. 15, 2021. Judge Herrmann stated that could be possible and made sure to schedule a hearing for Goodman’s stabbing case before the trial in his robbery case.
Parties are slated to reconvene Feb. 24.
