Judge Gives Prosecutors More Time to Respond to Stabbing Defendant’s Request For Release

DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld continued a hearing for the prosecution to respond to a release motion on March 24. 

Antonio Halfacre, 37, and Trevon Randolph, 27, are charged with aggravated assault while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon for their alleged involvement in a stabbing on Feb. 15 on the 1800 block of Central Place, NE. The victim sustained two stab wounds to the upper back, a fractured hand, and multiple injuries to his upper body. 

Alvin Thomas, Randolph’s attorney, filed a release review motion on Feb. 22 in response to the denial for his client’s release at the preliminary hearing on March 16. 

Parties did not present arguments for release, as Judge Hertzfeld wanted the prosecution to respond in writing by the end of the week. 

According to Neveen Hammad, Halfacre’s attorney, they are still waiting for the prosecution to turn over the audio footage of a 911 call made from the scene. Prosecution stated they would turn over the 911 call to Hammad once they received the audio. 

Hammad also mentioned that she and Halfacre are open to plea negotiations with the prosecution despite rejecting a plea offer at the preliminary hearing. 

Parties are set to reconvene on March 30.
