A DC Superior Court judge ordered April 27 that a defendant must be seen by a medical professional given his underlying medical issues.

Mark Miller is charged with assault with the intent to kill for allegedly stabbing a man in August of 2019.

Judge Todd Edelman ordered that Miller, 54, be seen by a medical professional within 24 hours of notifying jail personnel of symptoms from an illness because of his age and underlying medical conditions. The judge also ordered the DC Department of Corrections to provide a treatment plan for Miller’s underlying medical conditions by May 1.

Miller’s release from prison was denied.
