In a status hearing for the 2016 murder of Deonta Farrar, the defense responded to a potential plea bargain with a counter-offer, which was not publically disclosed.
The defendant, Saeed Woodall, 24, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Farrar on the 4500 block of Quarles Street, NE in August 2016.
Farrar, 23, had a child with Woodall’s sister, according to court documents.
The prosecution said they would notify D.C. Superior Court Judge Craig Iscoe once they examined the counter-offer and were ready to move forward.
A status hearing is scheduled for Sept. 7.
