A stabbing defendant’s preliminary hearing on Oct. 22 was delayed once again following an error in a mental observation order created by DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Herrmann.
Dayon Pratt, 31, is charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed for his alleged involvement in a stabbing on Oct. 16 on the 4600 block of Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, NE.
According to court documents, Pratt, while staying at a relative’s home, allegedly stabbed his relative’s significant other after displaying erratic behavior.
Judge Herrmann acknowledged an error with the date for the forensic order, which led defense attorney Darryl Daniels II to request a new mental competency hearing.
The mental competency hearing is now set for Oct. 25.
