Stabbing Defendant Rejects Plea Offer

A stabbing defendant rejected a plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz on June 17.

Kelly Williams, 52, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, malicious disfigurement while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or place of business and possession of a prohibited weapon for her alleged involvement in a stabbing incident that occurred on Jan. 12 at the intersection of Independence Avenue and L’Enfant Plaza, SW. One individual was harmed during the attack.. 

The prosecution previously offered to abandon the sentencing guidelines range if Williams were to plead guilty to aggravated assault, and said this offer remains on the table. 

During the hearing, Williams’ attorney, Darryl Daniels, mentioned his counter offer. However the details were not discussed in court and ultimately rejected by prosecutors. Daniels requested additional time to discuss the case with his client.

Parties are slated to reconvene on July 11.
