The prosecution’s indictment deadline for a stabbing case was extended on Nov. 22 before DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park

Chackell Anderson, 40, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, robbery, and robbery while armed for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing. The stabbing occurred on Sept. 3 on the 1900 block of 17th Street, SE. One individual sustained wounds, and another was assaulted.

During the hearing, the prosecution motioned to extend the indictment deadline, which may also push the trial date currently set for Dec. 12. 

The defense opposed this motion, but the prosecution stated they were willing to bring a plea offer to resolve the issues. 

Parties will reconvene on Nov. 25 for a status hearing.
