A co-defendant in a stabbing case rejected a wired plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on April 15 while his co-defendant has not decided.
Trevon Randolph, 27, and Antonio Halfacre, 37, are both charged with aggravated assault while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon for their alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on the 1800 block of Central Place, NE on Feb. 15.
Halfacre’s attorney, Neveen Hammad, said that Halfacre would be rejecting the plea offer. The offer would have required Halfacre to plead guilty to both charges and would have an agreed upon sentence of four years for Halfacre and two years for Randolph. In exchange, the prosecution would have agreed to not seek an indictment with additional charges.
Since the offer was wired, in order for Randolph to accept, Halfacre also needed to accept.
Randolph’s attorney, Alvin Thomas, said Randolph had not yet reached a decision on the plea deal and asked for correspondence with the prosecution in order to work on a new plea offer since Halfacre would not be accepting.
A trial date was set for June 24. Parties are scheduled to reconvene on June 5.
