On Dec. 18, a DC Superior Court judge continued a status hearing to monitor the health progress of a homicide defendant.
Barbara Sanders is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend, 59-year-old Thurman Lee Knight on the left side of his chest. The homicide occurred on March 17, 2019, on the 500 block of Montana Avenue, NE.
On June 24, 2019, the 55-year-old defendant was released into a halfway house.
On Dec. 8, a new halfway house order was issued, temporarily removing Sanders from GPS monitoring so that she could receive proper emergency medical treatment on her leg.
Judge Neal Kravitz scheduled a status hearing for Jan. 21, 2021, to see if there are any health updates about Sanders’ leg and to see whether or not she should be put back on GPS monitoring.
