A stabbing defendant pleaded not guilty during an arraignment before DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz on Nov. 12.
Corey Bridges, 31, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, tampering with physical evidence, and threatening to kidnap or injure a person. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on June 7 on the 1400 block of Morse Street, NE. The victim sustained a stab wound to his neck that caused life-threatening damage to an artery.
According to court documents, Bridges reportedly stabbed the victim with a kitchen knife at a transitional home where they both resided.
The court arraigned Bridges on the charges against him and his attorney, Molly Bunke, pleaded not guilty on his behalf and asserted his right to a speedy trial.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Dec. 19.
