New Evidence in Stabbing Case Delays Trial

DC Superior Court Judge Robert Salerno delayed a stabbing trial by a day to allow the defense additional time to review newly shared evidence by the prosecution, which included the victim’s medical records, on Sept. 17.

Amadelia Hernandez, 35, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred on the 400 block of Emerson Street, NE, on March 29. 

Damon Catacalos, Hernandez’s defense attorney, requested Judge Salerno delay the trial in order to review the newly shared evidence. The prosecution did not object, and Judge Salerno granted the request. 

Parties are slated to reconvene on Sept. 18.
