On Feb. 16, DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein sentenced a homicide defendant to 18 years of incarceration and 250 hours of community service.
Gregory Green was originally charged with first-degree murder while armed, robbery while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm for his involvement in the killing of Derrick Williams. The incident occurred on March 29, 2014, in SE Washington D.C.
On Dec. 14, Green accepted a deal which required him to plead guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for the dismissal of all other charges. Through the agreement, parties concluded 18 years of incarceration would be the sentence they would seek for Green.
Judge Epstein accepted the plea since the defendant accepted responsibility for his actions and has already served time in prison.
No further dates were set.
