A jail stabbing defendant received a plea offer in a separate, U.S. District Court case that could dismiss another matter before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman on April 2.
Cedae Hardy, 21, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed in connection to his alleged involvement in a stabbing at the DC Jail on the 1900 block of D Street, SE on Oct. 12, 2025. The victim sustained 10 wounds.
Chidi Ogolo, Hardy’s defense attorney, notified the court there is a possible global resolution–a plea that combines the District Court case with the one pending in DC Superior Court–that would terminate the stabbing case. However, Ogolo isn’t aware of the details.
The prosecution informed the defense and Judge Kravitz that the the District Court case is working separately from Ogolo’s. Judge Edelman asked about an approximate timeline for a decision, but the prosecutor couldn’t provide a specific date.
Judge Edelman set another hearing three weeks out to give time for the other case to resolve.
Parties are slated to reconvene on April 20.
