On Aug. 27, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a felony status hearing for two assault defendants.
Bernard Speight is charged with assault with intent to commit robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly stabbing a victim on the 4900 block of Georgia Avenue, NW on July 23. The victim was left with two large lacerations on the stomach region.
Speight’s co-defendant, Darryl Williams, is charged with assault with intent to commit armed robbery in connection with the incident.
Williams, 53, is on pretrial release. His attorney was not present at the Aug. 27 hearing. Speight, 34, is being held at the DC Jail without bail.
Speight’s defense attorney, Stephen LoGerfo, requested another status hearing to ensure that Williams and his attorney, Antiq Ahmed, can be present for scheduling the case’s preliminary hearing.
Judge Julie Becker scheduled a status hearing for Sept. 28.
