On July 16, a stabbing defendant’s hearing was delayed after undisclosed medical issues prevented his appearance before DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Herrman.
Tyrone Graham, 42, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that took place on July 13 on 12th and U street in front of McDonald’s. One individual sustained injuries during the incident.
According to court documents, Graham was allegedly standing at a bus stop when he and the victim got into a verbal altercation and the victim began punching Graham in the face. Then Graham reached into his bag, pulled out a knife, and allegedly began stabbing the victim.
Wole Falodun, Graham’s defense attorney, waived his presence at the hearing, following US Marshals’ alerting the court Graham had not been transferred to the courthouse due to a medical issue.
Falodun told the court that Graham had requested new counsel going forth, but Judge Herrman stated that Graham needed to be present in order to discuss his request.
Parties are reconvening on July 17.
