A stabbing defendant waived his right to independently test DNA evidence recovered from a crime scene, claiming “I won’t get convicted,” before DC Superior Court Judge Lynn Leibovitz, on June 6.

Samuel Robinson, 44, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred at the Mount Vernon Square Metro Station on the 700 block of M Street, NW, on Feb. 6. 

According to court documents, an individual who was later identified as Robinson was in a physical altercation with the victim on the Metro platform who sustained a stab wound to the head.

Robinson received a cut finger in the fracas and both individuals were transported to a hospital.

Parties are slated to return Aug. 26.
