A stabbing defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park on Sept. 5.
Tamara Delaney, 27, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her involvement in a stabbing that occurred on June 4 on the 5100 block of Call Place, SE. One individual, identified as Delaney’s child’s father, sustained injuries during the incident.
According to court documents, when police responded to the scene, they located the victim with multiple lacerations.
During the hearing, Susan Ellis, Delaney’s attorney, alerted the court of her intent to accept the deal, which required her to plead guilty to assault and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon, in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment.
Due to her acceptance of the plea, the prosecution recommended that she serve 180 days in jail for each count running concurrently followed by one year’s probation.
Parties are slated to reconvene Sept. 6.
