A stabbing defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Aug. 29 before DC Superior Court Judge Eric Glover.
Ali Jackson, 33, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing of an inmate at the DC Jail on the 1900 block of D Street, SE on July 16.
According to court documents, an officer claimed to see Jackson with two shanks. The victim sustained multiple stab wounds.
Jesse Winograd, Jackson’s attorney, alerted the court of his intent to waive the preliminary hearing. The court could not formulate release conditions that would ensure the safety of the community, so Jackson remains detained.
“F*** yo mama,” Jackson said as a US Marshal escorted him out of the courtroom.
Winograd requested a continuance to meet with Jackson to discuss his options.
Judge Glover agreed on Aug. 29 and scheduled the next hearing for Sept. 2.
