A stabbing defendant rejected a plea deal at a felony status conference before DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean on July 6.
Troy Ivy, 57, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with significant bodily injury, and possession of a prohibited weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing that took place in a Metrobus at the intersection of H and 2nd Street, NE on April 14. The victim suffered a stab wound to the upper shoulder.
Ivy, alongside his attorney Craig Ricard, rejected the prosecution’s agreement, which required him to plead guilty to misdemeanor possession of a prohibited weapon. If Ivy had accepted, the prosecution would dismiss all other indictment charges and not pursue any enhancements.
Ricard and the prosecution agreed to a trial starting on March 2, 2027.
Parties are set to reconvene on Feb 19, 2027 for a trial readiness hearing.
