A stabbing defendant told DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld that he needs more time to consider a plea offer during a hearing on Aug. 7.
Rayton Carry, 62, is charged with aggravated assault while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred on the 900 block of Alabama Avenue, SE on Oct. 12, 2022.
The prosecution extended a plea offer of one count of assault with significant bodily injury in exchange for limiting their sentencing request to 24 months and not pursuing greater charges.
Parties are set to reconvene on Aug. 21, when the offer expires.
