A non-fatal stabbing defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on March 19.
Brenda Blanco, 36, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a stabbing on Feb. 17 on the 3600 block of 14th Street, NW. One person sustained injuries to the face as a result of the incident.
Blanco pled guilty to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon, which carries five years of imprisonment and/or a $12,500 fine. As part of her agreement, Blanco will face no sentencing enhancements or other charges arising from this case.
Judge Hertzfeld presided for DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow, who is overseeing Blanco’s case but was unexpectedly absent for the proceeding.
Sentencing was set for May 16.
