A defendant involved in a stabbing accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on July 25.
Zoneil Williams, 51, was originally charged with assault with significant bodily injury for his involvement in a stabbing that took place on March 5 on the 4002 block of 4th Street, SE.
According to court documents, Williams and the victim, who are roommates, got into a verbal altercation inside an apartment. Williams then grabbed a knife from the kitchen, chased the victim down the street and proceeded to stab him.
The victim suffered from one stab wound to his left buttock, three to the left mid back, and one to his left armpit, but is in stable conditions.
At the hearing, Quo Judkins, Williams’ defense attorney, said he was accepting a deal, which required him to plead guilty to the sole count of assault with significant bodily injury, in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment on additional charges.
Sentencing is set for Oct. 4.
