A stabbing defendant relayed concerns he’s getting inadequate medical care to DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz on April 15.
Christopher Moore, 24, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, threat to kidnap or injure a person, assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault knowingly while armed in connection to a March 1 stabbing on the 700 block of 15th Street, NE.
Moore’s defense attorney, Sellano Simmons, stated that Moore had an appointment at Howard Hospital for a serious wound, but the physician allegedly only renewed his asthma inhaler. A representative from the Department of Corrections (DOC) joined via WebEx, and was able to obtain Moore’s medical records.
Judge Kravitz requested that the DOC notify the parties when any follow up appointments are scheduled for Moore.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene May 16.
