The prosecutor filed a motion to dismiss a case against a stabbing defendant on Jan. 20, before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe.
Micheal Fenwick, 34, was charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm during criminal violence for his alleged involvement in an Aug. 21, 2023, stabbing on the 4400 block of Quarles Street, NE, where a victim sustained cuts to the back of her head, swollen hands, and a cut on her left thigh.
Prosecutors filed a nolle prosequi motion, or a “not to wish to prosecute,” motion, which allows the prosecution to re-charge a defendant if they produce sufficient evidence to move ahead with the case.
The motion followed Fenwick’s attorney, Elizabeth White, orally motioning on Jan. 10 to dismiss the case. Judge Pipe granted the joint request.
No further dates were set.
