According to the court documents, the 27-year-old woman from Texas has had her bond revoked after she allegedly stabbed a potential witness in her case. Prosecutors say the woman is accused of murder. She was ordered back to jail Friday after she allegedly stabbed a woman who could have been called to the witness stand in her trial for the murder of a 51-year-old female victim.
Her name is Felisha Kaffara Washington and prosecutors say she violated a number of her bond conditions. The woman will now remain in jail until her trial for the murder of Ramona Jones.
According to the court documents, the woman had initially walked out of jail on a $50,000 bond in December after she allegedly stabbed to death Jones, a mother of three whose body was found in a ditch last October with multiple stab wounds.
The suspect and the victim were neighbors and had a long-running dispute. Jones’ family said they believe the latest incident shows that she’s responsible for the killing.
Initially, Washington’s bond was set at $100,000, but court records show District Court Judge Morton lowering it to $50,000. Washington posted bail in December 2020 and was released.
On Thursday, the DA’s Office released a 60-page report indicating judges who are releasing defendants on multiple felony and personal recognizance bonds are driving the rise in crime in the area. The defendant now also faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the latest stabbing.
