Rubin Holman waived his right to test DNA evidence during a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz on March 14.

Holman, 31, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault knowingly while armed. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing that occurred on the 600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, on Oct. 4, 2022.

According to arrest documents, the victim was a CVS store employee. He told police he was stabbed in the neck by an individual he asked to leave the store after allegedly taking soda and chips without paying.

Holman’s attorney, Jesse Winograd, appeared in court virtually from the DC Jail alongside his client.

Winograd told the court the prosecution isn’t testing any DNA evidence in this case, only fingerprints.

The next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 30.
