DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld imposed an 8 p. m.-to-8 a. m. curfew during a July 29 felony status conference for a stabbing defendant.
Matthew Dill, 31, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. The charge stems from his alleged involvement in a stabbing on March 17, on the 4200 block of 6th Street, SE.
Surveillance footage reportedly shows an individual, identified as Dill, stabbing the complainant multiple times in the torso before fleeing the scene.
Defense attorney Emma Mlyniec opposed the prosecution’s curfew request, stating that Dill is already under GPS monitoring and has remained compliant with all conditions. She argued a curfew was unnecessary and noted that Dill has not violated any stay-away orders.
Mlyniec requested that if a curfew is necessary, it begins after 6 p. m., citing her client’s need to manage his business.
The prosecution requested an 8 p. m. to 8 a. m. curfew, which Judge Hertzfeld imposed over defense objections.
The next felony status conference is scheduled for Oct. 7.
