DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein and attorneys prepared for a homicide trial in a case from 12 years ago.
Isaac Moye, 45, is charged with second-degree murder in connection to the disappearance and presumed death of 24-year-old Unique Harris. Harris was last seen on Oct. 10, 2010, near the 2000 block of Hartford Street, SE. Her body was never recovered.
Attorneys for both parties and Judge Epstein reviewed motions that they have filed in preparation for trial, which is slated to begin on May 22.
One of the motions, filed by the defense, questions the competency of one of the victim’s children, who was 5 years old at the time of the incident, who may testify during the trial. Counsel argued that the individual’s age at the time of the incident, and the child’s mental health issues may affect their testimony.
Judge Epstein told counsel he would make a decision on all motions and allow the parties to interview the above mentioned witness at the next hearing.
Parties are expected back in court on May 12.
