A stabbing defendant faced a mental observation hearing on March 10 before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld, and was ruled mentally competent to stand trial.
Kelly Williams, 52, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a stabbing that occurred at the intersection of Independence Avenue and L’Enfant Plaza, SW on Jan. 12. One victim was harmed during the incident.
A plea offer was extended by the prosecution in January, in which Williams would plead guilty to one count of aggravated assault while armed. Darryl Daniels, Williams’ attorney, stated they needed additional time to review the deal.
Parties are slated to reconvene on March 27 for a preliminary hearing.
