DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond ordered a stabbing defendant undergo a mental competency evaluation, delaying a preliminary hearing on Jan. 31.
Kelly Williams, 52, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred at the intersection of Independence Avenue and L’Enfant Plaza, SW on Jan. 12.
During the hearing, Judge Raymond alerted the parties that the court had received a report from the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) which recommended Williams receive a full competency evaluation.
Darryl Daniels, Williams’ attorney, and the prosecution did not object.
Parties are slated to reconvene on March 10.
