On Sept. 27 DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond granted a defendant’s motion to continue a preliminary hearing as the parties negotiate a plea deal in progress.
Dasean Jones, 25, is charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred on May 26 on the 1200th Block of 17th Street, NE.
Defense Attorney, Derrick Page, filed a motion for continuance so that he may have time to review what was mentioned in court as a possible plea deal. Page asked to reconvene in a week to go over this possible deal with Jones.
The prosecution confirmed a plea deal was in the works, but terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Parties are set to reconvene on Oct. 1.
