On Nov. 16, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled hearings for three co-defendants charged in connection with a stabbing at the DC Jail.

Co-defendants Kenneth Gray, Tayon Neal and Keith Baham are charged with assault with intent to kill for their alleged involvement in the stabbing, which took place on Feb. 16. 

Gray is also charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly striking a victim who was trying to intervene and stop the attack with a sharp object in the right shoulder area.

Judge Danya Dayson set a preliminary hearing for Jan. 5 and 6, which will determine if their cases have enough evidence to go to trial. She also scheduled a status hearing for May 3.
