On March 15, a non-fatal shooting defendant waived his right to conduct DNA testing on physical evidence before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun.
Anthony Coleman, 32, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, among other charges, for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting incident that occurred on Dec. 7, 2022, on the 100 block of Galveston Place, SW. One individual sustained non-life-threatening injuries from the incident.
The prosecution provided the defense with all discovery related to collected evidence. According to the prosecution, they have not conducted any DNA testing and they do not plan to.
Likewise, Alvin Thomas, Coleman’s defense attorney, alerted the court he was waiving his right to test the evidence.
A trial readiness hearing will take place on Nov. 1.
