Defense Requests Continuance in Stabbing Case 

A defense attorney requested a continuance for lack of evidence in a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Hildum on Aug. 15.

On Aug. 11 at approximately 12:04p.m., Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers received a call for a stabbing on the 1800 block of Benning Road, NE. Aquino Boyd, 26, was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon

During the hearing, Boyd’s attorney, Sara Kopecki, requested a continuance because she said she had not received all of the video surveillance footage from the prosecution. 

A standard order was issued by the prosecution to show all relevant footage in the case, and the defense was satisfied by that action.

Parties are set to return Aug. 21.
