DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson sentenced a domestic violence defendant to serve five years in prison.

Benjamin Lewis was originally charged with felony assault with intent to kill while armed. In January 2020, he made a deal with the prosecution to pleaded down to assault with a dangerous weapon.

Lewis’ sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release. Lewis must also register as a gun offender for two years upon release and pay $100 to the Victims of Violent Crime (VVC) compensation fund.
