DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt granted a mass stabbing defendant’s motion for a competency screening on Oct. 3.
Kevin Andrade, 34, is charged with six counts of assault with intent to kill for his alleged involvement in the stabbing of six people on the 1200 block of Meigs Place, NE on April 3.
According to court documents, four women and two men were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries sustained during the incident.
Judge Brandt apologized several times to defense attorney Steven Kiersh for missing the competency screening he requested on Aug. 13.
“That was totally my fault,” Judge Brandt said.
Judge Brandt ordered the evaluation.
Parties are slated to reconvene for Oct. 10.
