A stabbing defendant appeared in front of DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean for reportedly violating the conditions of his supervised release on April 15.
Gregory Edmonds, 34, is charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, and assault with significant bodily injury. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in the stabbing of his father on July 4, 2023, on the 2600 block of Martin Luther King Avenue, SE. He sustained injuries to his abdomen and torso.
According to court documents, Edmonds’ assault took place inside their apartment. His father told the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that Edmonds had attacked him with a pair of scissors while accusing him of trying to kill him.
According to an officer from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), Edmonds has not complied with the conditions of his release, as he has not been in contact with them since August of 2024. Edmonds has been on supervised release since July of 2024.
Edmonds’ attorney, Lauren Morehouse, told the court she had additional information to present and approached the bench. Morehouse, the prosecution, and Judge McLean discussed the matter in private
Morehouse asked for a further probation show cause hearing to be set for late April to determine Edmonds’ release status. The prosecution agreed.
Edmonds is detained until the next hearing.
Parties are slated to reconvene on April 28.
