On Sept. 24, a defendant indicated he is considering a plea deal for his alleged involvement in a robbery that turned into a stabbing.
Andre Joyner, 34, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for a stabbing on the 1900 block of D Street, SE which occurred on Aug. 3. One individual sustained injuries.
According to court documents, the victim was playing basketball when he was approached by Joyner. Joyner told the victim, “I am going to rob you,” and, “I’ll smack the s*** out of you and take all your s***,” before allegedly stabbing the victim with a knife.
Michael Madden, Joyner’s attorney, told DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond that there was significant negotiation with the prosecutor and they are expected to reach a deal soon, although details of the agreement were not disclosed.
Judge Raymond allowed the parties to continue to try and resolve the matter.
Parties are slated to reconvene Oct. 9.
